   NAME
        CMD_RESET - Reset the device to a known state


   SYNOPSIS
        Standard device command.


   FUNCTION
        Resets the device as though it has just be initialized.
        Aborts all read/write requests whether active of enqueued.
        Restarts device if it has been stopped.


   INPUTS
        Valid iorequest block with the io_command field set to cmd_reset.
        A valid iorequest block is one with its io_message structure, and
        io_Device and io_Unit fields properly initialized.  The easiest
        way to insure proper initialization is to make a copy of the
        iorequest block after a successful opendevice call.
