Thanks Darrel!!
I think I'll try to figure out how to mount the 32khz crystal onto the Labx-1 board.
I may be able to create a small pcb with headers that I can plug into the female header pins on the side of the 887a.

I should be able to see the 32khz oscillator with an Oscope to verify its running.
Interesting, I did play with loading different values into the high byte of Timer1s counting register and had it pull a pin high for the duration until timer1 rolled over and into the interrupt routine. 207 was what gave me a 1 sec pulse.
So I assumed it was the right number to load.

Thanks again for providing the code.
It will be super fun to try it out :-]
