Is this what you were talking about?

This was my project. I will answer any question you have about it. (It
was pretty straight forward.)

Yes, that was it! I'd love to be able to make one of these for my //c+
as well. Thank you!



Well, I just threw this together real fast so please be kind.

James, you don't need to switch the power (+5v), you can
just let both oscillators run all the time.

That "extra" pin, pin 1, is the output enable pin.  You
could probably just wire all oscillator lines in parallel
and switch pin 1 high on (only) the oscillator you want
to use.  (The only potential downside is not all oscillators
support pin 1 OE, but the datasheet will say.)
