These patches add the reset capability to the various emulator modules.
Then, the
resetcommand is introduced in the command line to perform a cold boot.I did not check thoroughly the documentation of every single module (eg. the SIO/2 or the CRTC) but I just replicated the behaviour of a standard boot in the emulator (eg. reinitialize static variables with their normal startup value).
@giuliof please have a look at the modified
fdc.cmodule to check if everything looks okay.Last but not least, I fiddled a bit with reset and multiple floppy disks, and it does not always behave the same way as the actual machine, but I suspect some variable initialization problem which (of course) was not diagnosed before because the reset did not exists. So I'm opening a follow up issue #29
