 		 #166480 - Steve, I meant turning on MCU supply
Responding to: ???'s previous message
If you need to turn on ancillary supplies, better to do that with a processor pin, when the CPU is ready surely ?

What I meant when I was talking about turning on the supply is, to turn on the MCU supply itself, using the Supervisory chip. ie: Just insert a BD 139 in series and switch it off using the reset pulse from the supervisory chip, so that the MCU supply is switched in cleanly.
