   IIRC, you are correct. The +5 needs to come up/on *after* the other
voltages are stable (mainly the +12). This prevents the CMOS from being
written to before the system gets into a sane state.

   I think that people have also used a Reset Circuit IC (a "MAX"
something or other, I believe...) successfully.

   Peace!
