Hello all,
I am designing a PCI card who must be able to reset the computer.
I mean that the card must reboot the computer the same way that if an
user
pushed the RESET button of the computer case.
Does any one know if there is a way to reset the computer from a signal
on
the PCI bus ?
I know there is a RST pins but, I believe this pin is to inform the
expansion board when the computer reboot.
I want to do the inverse, I mean, that the expansion board instruct the
motherboard to reboot.
Any help will be greeeeeeaattlly appreciated. This point is very very
important for me...

The PCI card would need a BIOS chip
of it's own. It would need to be able
to "talk" to the Northbridge/Southbridge
chipset and BIOS chip on the Mboard.
(Software).

From there it's over my head.

BTW. You have a double post.
