Comment (by rsmith):

 Replying to [comment:2 dilinger]:

 >(there is no reset button; the only way to do anything hardware-ish would
 be by pulling the power
 >cable out).

 What rev of board do you have?  My ATest board has a small momentary push
 button (SW11) marked EC_reset located in bwtween the GX and the CS5536.

 Frob the button and the board resets.

 >I actually flashed multiple times (insyde -> LB from build 83 -> older LB
 from warp) with only a >software reset after each.  I got the same results
 with the 8042 each time.  It was only after I >pulled the power cable out
 and let it sit for a minute, did I get proper results from the 8042.

 I very much suspect then that the 8051 on the EC was still held in reset
 until you power cycled the board.

 I'm going to verify that right now.
