Short of having a very accurate frequency counter, how does one go about
figuring out the type and load capacitance requirements for the average
'no specs' crystal used by hobbyists?

(I like the idea of "just connect it"...  Too bad about all those other
messages I've read where people have had trouble getting their crystals
to oscillate...)
