 		 #131955 - it's "creeping feature"-ism
Responding to: ???'s previous message
That's what happens when mfg's attempt to add things for which there's no room. These mfg's should figure out how to make things work properly, e.g. fix the reset function, and not waste their time with added features like ethernet, IIC, SPI, analog functions, etc. Of course, people want those features ... what's a mfg to do?

In an architecture that's inherently limited, as is the 805x, it's bound to happen. When it happens, it's bound to go badly, and then, from bad to worse.

                        Hey! Where'd you get Rev 2?            01/01/70 00:00

                              Webmaster? They have a webmaster?            01/01/70 00:00      
         Only at 5V...            01/01/70 00:00      
         words, words            01/01/70 00:00      
   Does it not have an internal Reset circuit?            01/01/70 00:00      
      now THIS is a BAD documentation            01/01/70 00:00      
         Does it imply            01/01/70 00:00      
            infernal reset (not a typo!)            01/01/70 00:00      
               So, what's the "right" way?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  don't use it as a port pin            01/01/70 00:00      
                     It's not a pitty but a shame!            01/01/70 00:00      
                        it's "creeping feature"-ism            01/01/70 00:00      
                           not a waste            01/01/70 00:00      
         Yes, I remember those many complaints!!            01/01/70 00:00

            internally timed            01/01/70 00:00      
               I LOVE it            01/01/70 00:00      
                  OK so let's vote            01/01/70 00:00

   lets see...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Yes, but what's REQUIRED?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Some results            01/01/70 00:00      
      with or without the reset chip?            01/01/70 00:00      
         now with the reset chips            01/01/70 00:00
