Bob and the group,
The project continues, no joy insight, the microprocessor oscillator is not
running.
So, is it the Crystal or the microprocessor?
The Crystal is not hard to come by. EBay has them 10 for $15.
Right now, it's a crapshoot 50-50 chance it could be the microprocessor or it
could be the crystal.
I wonder, if I were to take a 4 MHz crystal And solder it in the place and see
if it would oscillate. I realize it would not work correctly but that would
show if the oscillator inside the microprocessor is operating.
Ten tec has no parts in stock. I called.
