Yes, unfortunately the internal oscillator is not stable enough to do USB -=
 even though they do have other chips with an internal oscillator that is g=
ood enough, but I think they are all PIC24 chips.

One would have thought they would have tried very hard to get that technolo=
gy into this chip, as it does seem to be such an essential cost saving for =
this chip and its smaller brother, the 18F13K50.
