11/45 progress & questions

Jay> The DL11 controller has a crystal that does odd baud rates, the Jay> only usable one by any of my terminals is 110 baud (I think the Jay> crystal in it is like 408.xxxx or somesuch. I read in the docs Jay> that you can use a different crystal and get more "common" (and Jay> higher) baud rates. The docs tell me what speed crystal to get - Jay> but is this crystal something I can just order from Jay> jameco/digikey/whoever and plug it in? The docs sound like it is Jay> only a crystal swap required. Correct? Sounds right. I couldn't find the doc you mentioned -- the ones I checked on bitsavers don't show the frequencies, but they do show that you get your choice of four "speed groups" according to the crystal you pick. Anyway, Jameco or Digikey may work, if the frequency you need happens to be a stock one. If not, contact a crystal manufacturer. In years past, I've ordered crystals for a custom frequency, quantity one, completely painlessly from International Crystal. It seems odd, but they have no trouble with custom orders for just a single part. paul
