"Various tricks had to be used, among them faking a keyboard Ctrl-Alt-Del reboot to reset the CPU without actually rebooting." The keyboard controller (really a microcontroller) on the system board was used to reset the CPU directly, by generating a RESET signal. Please remove the bit about Ctrl-Alt-Del unless you can show at least one piece of software which actually did that. The keyboard controller reset was designed in, because the PC/AT BIOS itself needed to switch to protected mode and back when testing extended memory.
