Thanks for the questions...
I don't see 16ms delay on a reset. When my Arduiono Mini resets it spends a LONNGGGGGG time waiting in the boot loader
Sometimes it feels like 10 seconds.
Since it is easy to plug into a prototype board, the Mini is what I use on the desk, so almost exclusively.
I have always had to time about 2 seconds after starting the download in the IDE to release of the reset switch to get
new software downloaded onto it, but it works :).
A while back I put a new bootloader on the Mini, using the IDE, in the hope that it would be better, with no difference perceived.
Is there some way to avoid this delay that I have missed?
