I am definitely not getting that kind of accuracy. I got to digging last night and found some 20mhz crystals on some network cards. One is clearly marked 20.0000M and the is very small and lowprofile and labeled FS20.00. I assume that the second one is 20mhz as well. Do most all 10Mbit ethernet cards have a 20mhz crystals? I have three different brands here and they all look like this is the case. > -----Original Message----- > From: pic microcontroller discussion list > [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of Dwayne Reid > Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 9:54 AM > To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU > Subject: Re: [PIC] - Serial Woes and Crystals > > > At 05:16 PM 6/10/02 -0400, Rick C. wrote: > >20 mhz resonators aren't accurate enough for standard serial > baud rates.
