I have more than 300 16lc924-4/pt, that are exchange with one surplus shop by 1800 24C02. I need 300 crystal any way. On ebay, there is very cheap 6MHz crystal, 100/2.99USD. Other source, cheapest is 0.5USD/piece. I will test 16lc924, with 5.5V Vdd+6MHz. and hope it works. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan-Erik Soderholm" To: Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 4:14 AM Subject: RE: [PIC]6MHz crystal, for 4Mhz 16lc924, how big possibility? > microsoftwarecontrol wrote : > > > can't find good price for 4Mhz crystal, but see one sell > > for 6MHz crystal. > > You must be joking, right ? > You need just one or a realy large batch ? > > > I have been test 20Mhz f877a, to 24MHz, without problem. > > How do you know it was "without problem" ?
