> I will say that everyone does the init sequence a little differently

My experiences so far with cards is like that with other devices which
need intelligent driving, such as LCDs and modems. There's a lot of
Copy/Paste of values and sequences

For example I had so much trouble with DOGM LCDs and web code
purported to make them work - even the manufacturer's code is wrong
(cf many examples of Microchip documentation). Just because a
company says it's true doesn't make it so

http://www.piclist.com/techref/microchip/io/dev/lcd/DOGM.htm

So often web code goes only as far as 'getting it going' without any
fine-tuning or, conversely, allowances for the vagaries of electrical
specs and manufacture

And as every man and his dog starts making devices those vagaries
are likely to get even vaguer, so it does pay to read the pdfs and
understand why one does what one does and what could happen
if one strays
