I tried a number of times, holding it down for
quite a long time and it did not work.
Someone else has (independantly) just posted a
similar msg to the ultraviolet mailing list. And
I think I recall seeing one or two before I got
a IIIx.
As an expirement I just tried it -- I held the
button down and counted to 60 ... the "Palm
Computing Platform" screen stayed there the
entire time until I released the button. Without
holding the button down the reset took ~7 seconds.
I don't have a mis-behaving app on there anymore,
so I don't know if holding the button down for
the count of 60 did anything other than put the
boot procss "on hold". I'm pretty sure I held
the up button down for at least 15 seconds yesterday
when I was trying to do the warm reset for real.
I'm not sure, but didn't the older ones go through
the reset process -while- you held the button down?
That way you knew you could release it when the
prefs screen showed up. The IIIx seems to put the
boot process "on hold" while you've got the "up"
button pressed.
