replace XTAL with Crystal?

If you don't know that xtal is a common abbreviation for crytal, then by what basis have you decided that you want to change it, that the unit can 'handle it', and you have the technical skill to do it ?

Good question, Geoff, but what's more worrying is that the places Tek is looking for XTALs/Crystals don't seem to indicate that they are the same thing!

Anectdote:

I was working on my mother's house, and while she was at the store I told her we needed, among other things, a 5lb box of 16 penny nails. The guy working in the fastner aisle informed her, "We don't cary penny nails, but we do have 16d nails. Would that work?" He pronounced the "D."

What's REALLY fascinating is that Geoff dug back just shy of 2 years to find a post to which he would respond. OP: May 8 2004 If Tek is still looking, it must not be a high priority.

Also worth noting that alt.electronics.analog was never a valid group.

Great, does this mean we could debate my want of a nice 8-pin DIL standard IC for converting either frequency (or voltage representing it) to voltage representing pitch? (Log conversion). :) I'm still hoping that thread of mine, still hopefully current, might get some more suggestions for this..

(In group: sci.electronics.components btw, I don't like to crosspost.)

It may be valid on a few servers but not be an official newsgroup that went through the proper creation process.

On the other hand, news:alt.electronics.analog.vlsi is a valid group.
