Agreed. That being said, this sort of "quick fix" with timeouts is one way that projects end up adding unneeded boot delay that sticks around and becomes harder to fix as the years go by. I've even seen this in Linux desktop environments; the "fastest" fix to multi-process startup is often to add a delay to force process start order. It's almost never the correct solution, but can serve as a useful backup if something goes wrong. >> can it parse the ME descriptor and not even search for the HECI >> interface if the ME size is less than a certain value? > > That's a good idea!
