Now, the other option is use a microcontroller, that way, you can press and continuously hold the power key to force a power-off in case of a hard freeze.

Like most (if not all) Macs made within the last 18 years?

Better yet, why not use a latching relay?

Interesting idea. How would that work? Instead of the flip-flop, the signal coming from the LB controls the relay directly (or through a simple transistor)?
