Hopefully you saw the note following this that it was just a overblown scenario to explain why I asked the questions before trying it. -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of Harold M Hallikainen Sent: Friday, June 28, 2002 11:05 AM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [OT]: RE: [PIC]: Resonators, crystals, and ICSP...
