    Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that wire length issue. That was a weird one.

    As there's no switch needed, would a two leg oscillator do? You can get twenty two legged 40mhz oscillators for £3.10!

    I don't see how, as the way I understand them you need a pin for voltage, earth & one for the clock signal (the switch isn't a pin). How this is accomplished on a 2 legged oscillator I've no idea (maybe their designed for series wired circuits?). I can't see them working for what we need man, back to the four legged variety I'm afraid :D

    Ah grand, found an auction selling two four legged 40mhz oscillators. You can hang on to the other one yourself.
