Question: We have a dual c80 system. After running the emulator (in dual mode ) the hardware reset doesn't seem to operate properly, even if we run EMURST. The hardware reset and EMURST can both be done numerous times, but the board doesn't fully reset. Then, if we re-run the emulator, the hardware reset completes. It's as if the emulator, even through its own reset, isn't letting go of the second processor until it's re-run. Is there a way to tell the emulator to let go of both processors?

Answer: The problem lies in the fact that you're dealing with two separate halts. The actual hardware and the emulator react to different halts. Here is a solution before you quit the debuggers type RUNF this should allow you to release the processors.
