After hard reset 9.0.4 brought up CircuitPy drive.

Behavior

I first tried the Adafruit Web Serial ESPTool and it wouldn't connect to the board running 8.0.4 ESP Web Flasher loaded. Connecting... Connected successfully. Try hard reset. Chip type ESP32-S3 Connected to ESP32-S3 MAC Address: xxx Uploading stub... Running stub... [Object.debug:191] Finished read loop Error: Invalid head of packet (0x47)

After installing 9.1.2 with python esptool and hard resetting the board a boot loop occurs. The COM port continually connects then disconnects. No CIRCUITPY device is shown. I tried every combination of boot/reset button combinations. Thankfully I could get it back to bootloader mode to flash down to 9.0.4 but a CIRCUITPY device never appeared due to the 9.1.2 boot loop.

9.0.4 bin works fine.
