Thanks for the info.  My choice of oscillators is limited, since I
found about four on a broken 386 laptop, and the next step up is 48MHz.
Just the crystal that I need to push the system up to 12MHz when, I
feel rich enough to buy the chip.  :-)

Besides, I have to worry about replacing the hard drive first.  That
20Mb one that I am now using is slower than the dickens.
