Dale,
Do not stop asking questions. I looked at the link from David VanHorn and
got some input that I have not been given if you haven't popped the quest=
ion
you did.
Applied to humans as a spices: We learn as long as we live. Or was it we
live as long as we learn ;-)

All I was asking is whether I was the only one who has never -- not once
-- seen a board fail to start without caps.  8080, 8085, Z80, 8048, 8051,
8052, Lord knows how many 7404-based oscillators driving various circuits
and half a dozen PIC flavors, construction ranging from wire wrap to
perfboard to PCB to dead bug, and I've never seen an oscillator not start
since I started playing with these things in about 1979 or '80.  Granted,
I have never put anything into volume production, but that's why I was
asking.

I've read the app notes.  I understand the theory.  That's what makes me
curious.  I'll quit asking questions now before I get a reputation for
stirring up trouble...
