I have stayed out of the fray so far, but I would like to throw my 2
cents in on this. I would vote for option C - instead of a recovery
jumper, put another small switch like the reset switch in-line with
the eprom power. Cosmic Wedgie no problem just hold down the new
switch and hit the reset switch! not only should it fix the cosmic
wedgie it would also not entail a jumper that could be lost....

Note I am not 100% sure this is a possible fix for recovery from a
cosmic wedgie, but if it did work it would make life alot simpler.
