Sorry, I didn't put the correct subject router the first time.

I have just gotten my first 16F877 and have programmed it to do a simple
"turn on the led" program  (the LEDON program in Myke's book, where RB0
should follow the state of RA0).  It is so simple it doesn't work.  The XT
oscillator config is programmed, but on the OSC1/CLKIN pin 13 I see a
tristate condition.  On OSC2/CLKOUT pin 14 I see the oscillator frequency.
I am using a 3 pin ceramic resonator with the center pin grounded. Both Vdd
and both Vss pins are correctly connected, and the MPU is bypassed with
.1uF.  MCLR is tied high through a 1K resistor.  Anyone have any suggestions
on how to get past this Homer Moment (D-OH!)

TIA,
Doug Hemingway
