+/*
+ *	Theory of Operation:
+ *		The Watch-Dog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone
+ *		Systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that
+ *		caused the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by
+ *		external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working
+ *		correctly, hardware on the board will either perform a hardware
+ *		reset (cold boot) or a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) to bring the
+ *		system back to a known state.
+ *
+ *		The Watch-Dog Timer is controlled by two I/O Ports.
+ *		  443 hex	- Read	- Enable or refresh the Watch-Dog Timer
+ *		  043 hex	- Read	- Disable the Watch-Dog Timer
+ *
+ *		To enable the Watch-Dog Timer, a read from I/O port 443h must
+ *		be performed. This will enable and activate the countdown timer
+ *		which will eventually time out and either reset the CPU or cause
+ *		an NMI depending on the setting of a jumper. To ensure that this
+ *		reset condition does not occur, the Watch-Dog Timer must be
+ *		periodically refreshed by reading the same I/O port 443h.
+ *		The Watch-Dog Timer is disabled by reading I/O port 043h.
+ *
+ *		The Watch-Dog Timer Time-Out Period is set via jumpers.
+ *		It can be 1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 220 seconds.
