Interesting. I never saw that happening on my 2e but I'm sure I didn't
turn it on as often as you did.
There is no "active" reset on my board - it relies on a reset coming 
from the Apple slot. IMHO a good assumption because the Disk ][ card
drives this live low for a few milliseconds. In addition the first thing
the PCPI boot software does is sending a reset command to z80. Of course
that is a "soft" reset.
