- Funny, I it works the other way for me: When I power-cycle the machine,
- the WD8013EP card is recognized, but not really initialized: The computer
- cannot read the board RAM, and I get those funny 'Reject 65xxx' messages.
- However, after a warm boot everything works fine.
- It looks to me like a timing problem (Delay too short in the initialisation
- phase).
