Connected my Saleae probe to the oscillator on the 16F877 while it's on the X1, the thing spits out like crazy on both pins.
But when I connect to the osc while it's on the breadboard, nothing, no activity. Something is definitely wonky on that breadboard.
I tried with 18, 22 and now 33pF caps just to eliminate that possibility.
Might have dead circuits inside, that sucker's brand new too.
