Abstract
The present invention is a method of fault protection for a microcomputer system. The method determines whether the system returns to a normal or special operating mode if a fault is detected by determining the microprocessor's past history before the fault occurred thereby allowing the microprocessor to get back on track in an appropriate manner.
