>You can reduce the error to zero for the usual serial >rates by using a non-standard clock frequency of 3.6864 >MHz, or 2x or 4x that frequency. Not quite sure why you class this crystal frequency as "non-standard". It is a "standard" frequency simply because it is a baud rate generation standard frequency. I had no trouble finding this crystal in a catalogue available as an "off the shelf" item. Another one that falls into this category is 19.6608MHz. You will find that these two frequencies have a common divisor of 1.2288MHz. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
