Debug system almost ready

I set up my breadboard with the chip and the power supply and such in order to start debugging my assembly program. I realized that I bought the wrong D-Sub Connectors at Radio Shack, so I'm headed there tomorrow to exchange them.

Also, for some reason I thought I had the 20 MHz self-powered oscillator, but I didn't and this is critical. I'm going online tonight to try and find one of these. If I can't, I'll have to buy one that requires power, but so be it because I need a clock and I need it now.

As soon as the D-Sub 9 is soldered and I have the clock I can start debugging my assembly program through the serial port. Yay!
