I seem to remember reading in one of the PIC datasheets that you can turn the startup delay off. What exactly happens when it's off, but your clock isn't ready for prime time yet? Could you just put in a dozen or so nop instructions right after the wakeup to compensate? Or do "bad things" happen with a whacky clock? -Steve -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
