Nick,
        A power-on-reset circuit is normally used to allow Vcc to come up,
and the internals of a chip to 'settle', before releasing the reset line.
        I have tried to use the '245, but never did get it running in a
Coldfire application. I was unable to get a PC to find it. I was not using a
serial eprom, and that seemed to be an issue, though the shiny brochure said
I didn't need one.
        If your circuit actually runs, I'd appreciate seeing it, if
possible.
