If I may say so myself: This is a cool feature... Hook the reset-connector from the interface to your PET/CBM motherboard, and you just added a Reset feature to your setup: pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del together (aka the 3-finger salute) will reset your PET/CBM.
Since installation shouldn't require any special tools or soldering, we equip the reset-wire with a test clip, this will fit nicely around the wire from one of the capacitors or resistors on the motherboard. Obviously you have to find the right wire. The picture was taken from a CBM 8032 with a Dynamic (Universal) Motherboard. The picture shows the rear right corner area of the motherboard. In the top right corner of the picture you can see 2 voltage regulators, those are at the rear right of your motherboard. Connect the clip to the LEFT leg of capacitor C50 or resistor R24, as shown in the picture.
To connect the clip (make sure computer is powered off), hold it like a syringe in one hand and press on the back, a little hook should come out at the small end. Hook that around the wire from C50 or R24, then let go. The clip should stay in place when you let go.
