AVR-Chat

I used mostly the UV-erasable PIC's when I got started with them. They 
have little windows.  I used a couple OTP devices once I got the bugs 
worked out in the EPROM versions. Now if I use a PIC it's a flash-memory 
device.  They're about the same cost or even cheaper than the EPROM 
devices.  Those little windows must be expensive!

I think all the AVR's use flash programming.

I asked this question on AVR-club but I don't think I ever got an answer 
there.  Has anyone used a mega16 with a 20 MHz crystal?  The specs rate it 
up to 16 MHz but the UART section in the data sheet lists 20 MHz as a 
possible frequency.
