Mario,
     Yes! I won't go in to the reasons why. I bypass the Oscillator=20
and/or oscillators and all of the digital ICs. Linear VRs are also=20
bypassed but look at the datasheet to get the proper values. I mostly=20
use 0.1uF 50V Ceramics. I have at times used 0.01uF 50V Ceramics.
Thanks,
rich!
