If one wishes to do "accurate" timing I wouldn't recommend
using non-xtal oscillators. The MeasureClock thing sounds
promising however...I didn't know we could kick up the clock
rate a bit with the config. thanks...

What I meant about about reading the fuses seems to have been borne
out in fact. Getting all 0xff (or 0x00's) just "feels" like there
is something that is not actually being read correctly.

A low fuse byte value of 0xc4 would set it to internal oscillator. I
think the ATmega128's internal RC oscillator can provide a fixed 1.0,
2.0, 4.0, or 8.0 MHz clock.

whew...now I don't have to go look up the config bytes...
Is there an internal osc that will run faster than the xtal?

And are we certain that the config is really all 0xff?
That sounds too conveniently like a read error...

The low byte value of 0xff indicates that the ATmega128 is configured to use external oscillator. The frequency of the external oscillator is normally 7.3728 MHz. Giri

my actual configuration, running
uisp -dprog=data -dpart=ATmega128 --rd_fuses

gives me the following
fuse low byte  0xff
fuse high byte 0xff
fuse extended byte 0xff
calibration byte      0xff - read only
lock bits  0xff

BLB12 -> 1
BLB11 -> 1
BLB02 -> 1
BLB01 -> 1
LB2     -> 1
LB1     -> 1

so, is it 7.3Mhz?

    my fuse low byte is set to 0xff. this means the clock frequency is
    7.3Mhz (not 8Mhz) right?

    thank you in advance

        It's sounds like the MSP can be overclocked in software
though.
