  Dan, startup delays are caused BY the startup timer...  I just said
that, in my perhaps unique way.

  (How can a program run - as NO code runs while the startup timer is
counting, anyways?  <EG>)

  So I just suggested, sync up AFTER both pics have gone through the
startup delay, through software sending an edge trigger to sync things
up.

  (Does someone else's software run while the startup timer's running?
Evil Minds want to know <G>  How do they DO that?)
