PLCC.

By the way, Trevor Mahan (tjmahan@earthlink.net) is going
to buy a big batch, so email him if you want one.  He lives
15 minutes from WDC.

http://www.digikey.com/ DigiKey.  You want half sized TTL
oscillators.  They should be rated 4x the Mhz you want the
CPU to run, so 40Mhz oscillator will yield a 10Mhz TWGS
operation speed, 50Mhz will yield 12.5Mhz, and so forth.

Since they costs only some 50 cents each, it is best to get
a few of varying speeds and see what top speed your
particular TWGS can go.
