You only need to worry about the burn pulse lines, but they should
definitely have a hardware pulse limiter .
When your $3 uP takes out a $50 print mech, it's a little disturbing.

Also helps when you breakpoint while the print pulse is active.

I would have a link to http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?KC6ETE-9 here
in my signature line, but due to the inability of sysadmins at TELOCITY to
differentiate a signature line from the text of an email, I am forbidden to
have it.
