- Ok, this makes a lot of sense. It sounds to me like the microcontroller is
- encountering a problem that is delaying its readiness. Next time this happens,
- I'l going to try things like like scrubbing the contacts of the
- microcontroller (don't laugh, dust and humidity can cause very real problems
- for low-power CMOS) and re-connecting all my ADB cables in case the connectors
- are loose. I stopped getting 0911's soon after I switched on the heater for
- winter, so I may not have a chance to investigate this for a while.
