I know Mr. Murphy all too well.. but do we really need anything about RESET line here? I mean we do all what is needed during power-up sequence and we are done. At other time we don't do anything. We just behave like every well-mannered ROM/EPROM, serving happily content to the main board and not caring much about that big RESET hammer striking the system from time to time, right?
