How about something like they used on the tape port of the C64 or C16?

A transistor with a 10.6V zener diode between base and GND plus a pullup 
resistor between base and collector with the collector hooked up to the 
PSU (which should supply about 14V). The emitter is connected to the 
_RESET pin plus maybe a resistor to GND to allow for some current flow. 
That takes care of the 10V. Now put another zener (around 5V, might need 
some experimenting to find the correct value) parallel to the first one, 
but only route it to GND via a gate from a 7406 and maybe another gate 
from the same 7406 to pull the base of the transistor to GND to allow 
for a reset.

This way you need 2 portbits. One to switch between 10V and 5V and the 
other allow for a LOW on the RESET pin no matter what the other one is 
set to.
