    I have run up to 5 micros with one crystal, but they are all very close together, so don't try to extend a wire too far. When I did it I shared both pins 13 and 14 between the chips, not sure if that really matters or not.

    to get more drive on that OSC out line you could buffer with an inverter . . .

    Thumbs up

    I asked the question because I didn't understand how the crystals work and what the difference is to the resonators...As far as I understand now, the crystal amplifies ac noise at its resonant frequency at startup until everything is in synch with its resonant frequency...So there's a 5volt AC signal present there? I'm guessing I could pull one line into the comparator, and use the comparator output...Would that help to extend the wire?
    greets,
