If "reset" = "cycle power" then that does work.  It happens also with 
openapple-ctrl-reset.  As I said, it was hard to get the Focus to boot 
sometimes as it was in the unaccelerated GS, where sometimes you'd here 
the drive thrashing, but it was just stuck in some odd access loop, 
heads flying.  Ususally then I'd ctrl-reset and do a IN#7 and that would 
work.  If not I would try something exotic like jumping to the monitor 
and doing a 7 ctrl-p or 7 ctrl-i and it would boot.  But that does not 
works a a faithful remedy w/ ZipGSX installed.

The drop to monitor on boot from focus is new since ZipGSX came to town.
