Tristan,
Even in your hack solution, isn't there still a small probability of
the same problem? Even if you wait for a complete packet, what
if another packet comes in after you're done reading data but
before X re-enables interrupts or its i/o signal handler or
whatever it does to stop ignoring i/o?
Heh,
Now that you mention it, yes. But I haven't heard of the problem
occuring in the field, and thats something like 4 or 5 thousand jukeboxes
getting regular use for over a year now; It works for us ;-)
FWIW, if it were a touchscreen switch panel for a flight simulator or some
real time gameing or whatnot, then it might not go un-noticed.
Cheers,
