Mmm.. I think there ought to lots of alternative ways to generate a reset signal for that.. a simple R/C circuit; piggyback off some other chip's reset; possibly a s/w solution..


If you happen to know the specs on that signal and the timing of it then yes of course. I'm sure with enough poking around on a working unit this could be derived. This seems to be one case though where the cost would outweigh the benefit.

Easiest thing to try would be to get a good PEEL and see what happens.
