That switch allows you to reset the machine by simply pressing RESET alone, or by Control-RESET. It was added when people were finding that it was too easy to accidently reset the machine by RESET alone.Ah... I see - I was lucky to find a such easy way to rest the computer.

On all later Apple II's, the machine is reset by holding down Ctrl and pressing Reset, so that is the de facto standard. As Bill pointed out, it helps avoid accidental resets, which are generally a disaster. -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
