The External Reset is limited to the VMOD-2 and it's piggybacks, and will not reset the VME-
bus unless your application software demands it to. I.e. via the polling of an output register to
detect a "reset" state.
Special note!
There can be occasions when spurious interrupts are caused with the use
of the "local" reset facility.
This can happen when a VMOD-2 IRQ is cleared by the local reset before
the VMEbus system has had a chance to clear the interrupt itself.
The two-pins (25 and 26) of the 50-way front panel connector, can be used to detect the fol-
lowing external events;
