The datasheet says that either TxC or RxC should be left unconnected,
can't recall which one. I already closed the PDF and have a mess of
a desktop right now.
I am not sure what the difference is in a Crystal Oscillator, an
Oscillator, or a Crystal in these hacks/descriptions since people
slang the terms around so much. Jameco clearly sells both Crystals
and Oscillators both in 1.8432 mhz and 3.6864 mhz. Whether a cyrstal
actually oscillates or an oscillator behaves like a crystal, I
ordered the "crystals" which look identical to the "oscillators". :)
