OBDII readiness drive cycle procedures

I disconnected my battery 3 weeks and 500 miles ago. Went to smog the car with no ill thoughts and did not pass due to readiness code(s) not set. If I remember right (I am out of town) My INNOVA 3100 code reader (http://www.troublecodes.net/articles/equus/Equuis_OBD_II_code_reader.shtml) tells me I am still missing the following readiness codes:

C = Catalyst Monitor
EV = Evaporative System Monitor
2A = Secondary Air System Monitor
O = Oxygen Sensor Monitor



I know that Don has posted extensively on how to pass smog with the SAI readiness code not set. However, I obviously have a whole bunch of codes not set. I am not too surprised, as I am not driving the car much and of the 500 miles there is one long distance trip with one stop and 300 miles worth of driving to and from the track and a track day ...

I have searched the web for drive cycle procedures on the 993 and others. Looks like a bunch of voodo and hard to realize in a populated area. What has worked for you and what do you recommend? I'll be home over X-mas and can experiment. Will I just need more warmup cycles than the handful I have gotten to date?

Thanks!

George
