Sure... or maybe you just need a snack. Maybe a beer? The potential uses are endless, really.

You should be able to easily identify the address and data lines, then use a resistor and wire to pull down the other lines to find /HALT.

Yeah... I've pooped before, so that also seems like a realistic use for the switch.
Thanks, I'll give this a go and see what I can do. What value of resistor is good? Are you just trying to isolate ground from the pins while testing, or should you use a resistor to ground a halt switch?

I was just thinking....if you have a logic probe you could search for all pins at a steady high state. Halt should be one of those if it uses the same active low /Halt as a standard 68K. Then solder a wire with resistor (470-4.7K will work fine) to a ground and test those pins.
I never worked on a CPS2 mobo, so there may be some space issues with the board stacks while doing the tests...GL!!
