Hi Tom, yup, have tried it with 3 different Mega16's, I actually
figured the first chip was faulty and labeled it as such by munching
it's pins and chucking it in the garbage, only to find the same thing
happen on 2 others (Gutted). Found that the problem was the CKOPT fuse
which I didnt burn, means the oscillator was running at only half VCC
as far as I can figure.
