Hi Marko

It's a bit strange to ad a reset to a Oceanic drive but it's for a special project.
I looked at Ray Carlsen Webpage and there was a reset for the Excelerator +Plus drive. I found out that this almost the same and I could install the reset switch.

If you want to see my special project look here:

I hope the drive is not going to be a problem but it looks so good.

Greetings Richard
