Well the BFH "Bottle of Fermented Hops" didn't hurt or help. But was enjoyable.

I gave in guys...

Tacked on some crystals and caps, trimmed some traces, and I'm up and running.

Started out with 20Mhz @ 4v PK2PK. Was getting about 1v drop for each pic in series or parallel. The pics start failing at 2.8v pk2pk.

I will not let this drop. I am just on a really tight schedule.

Thanks for the help so far.
