How about a 556 timer that momentarily presses SHIFT+RUN/STOP a few seconds

instead of tape?

.. exactly. Here comes the more tricky part. Unless you want to make a

to distinguish between "normal" and "power-up" reset conditions) to do it
only with BASIC ROM changes and keeping its all functionality.
