Yep, when I ordered the crystals from Farnell (or RS, can't remember, when it's not one, it's the other...), I was overwhelmed by the various kinds of models that were available, and since I didn't learn enough about crystals at school to make an informed decision, and since as you noticed, the Atmel data sheet makes you believe that all crystals are equal, well, I just ordered the cheapest 16MHz one they had to offer... -- Vince _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
