Timing and Default Config Values
Few new updates.
48MHz oscillator is too fast (might not be if I wanted to over extend the chip and see what happens) but, discovered that there is an internal clock which can run at 8MHz and software called Phased Locked Loop which will simulate given rate times four, so I'll get 32MHz, which is more than I need.
About to test the internal oscillator supplied by Microchip by burning the necissary configuration onto the chip, but my floppy drive is broken and the EPIC programmer software is on a floppy. I'll copy the contents to CD tommorow at Hunter. Maybe I should replace my broken floppy drive at some point. It died at least a year ago. Also, my Audigy 2 Sound Blaster sound card is not being recognized again. I made the mistake of plugging in an audio line while the computer was on, which was the same action I took which seemed to start the whole fiasco before, ending in Windows OS not booting. I'll remove and reinsert the sound card tomorrow and see if that works. It might be time for a new computer... or a new motherboard.
Watchdog Timer is set by default, which causes problems in developing and debugging. Microchip default configuration seems to be a bit wacky in general.
