#94914 - and uses a bunch of pins
Responding to: ???'s previous message
If you are "paranoid" enough, you can easily build an external WD which requires a much more sophisticated reset.
and uses a bunch of pins

The only internal watchdog type I consider acceptable is the one which does not run out of the processors clock.
a valid argument if you believe that a reset will start the processor clock, otherwise whare is the significance of the separate clock?
