I just tried with RC. It didn't work :(
I tried it with two 16C84 and a 16F84.
I think there's a problem with my current.
I have exactly 5 Volts at the PIC.

Is this ok?

Do I have to conect any other pins than Vcc, Vss, OSC1 and OSC2 for this
test?

Is it possible, that if my software is broken it stops the clock?

Ciao, Tommy
