now that Paul reminds me of this, we too in developing hotspot clicker had
significant reliability issues with iniwrites as well. similar deal to what
paul is talking about if I remember rightly, though we're going back a few
years so memory is hazy. it was definitely flaky though and we had to do
some byPass or other, to get it back to being reliable again, but I don't
remember using the method Paul speaks of below from Jamal? I think a bloke
called andrew hart, whose not on this list, helped track down/overcome this
one with us, but, I just don't now quite remember what he did in order to do
that.
I could see if he could remember though, or perhaps Jim snowbarger might
also remember?
I can definitely confirm issues with it though, if this helps you realize
your not going crazy.
