Description
Hello,
I'm using latest 0.9.5 version, but sometimes my Nuvoton NCT6799D sensors are not detected on startup.
DetectWinbondFintek in LpcIO.cs :
byte id = port.ReadByte(CHIP_ID_REGISTER);
byte revision = port.ReadByte(CHIP_REVISION_REGISTER);
When sensors aren't detected id and revision are set to 255
How can I help to solve this issue?

Research direction
Start in LpcIO.cs at DetectWinbondFintek and inspect the reads from CHIP_ID_REGISTER and CHIP_REVISION_REGISTER. Reproduce startup detection with the Nuvoton NCT6799D and determine why both values sometimes return 255; done means the chipset is detected reliably rather than intermittently missed.
