I've never used that particular chip, but I'd be nervous. IF you get the right crystal, and I've seen NO guidance from Atmel on selecting it, then you'll be ok. The key is to get the output level higher than the unspoken threshold value. In our case, with the M128, most systems worked fine, a few had really tough to explain problems, wierd serial port glitches, but nothing consistent.. Then one day, all of a sudden, bang. Pretty much nothing works. Different date code on the M128 parts is about all we could point at. Once we found out about the CKOPT bit (which got set the opposite of what I had spec'd), we flipped the bit back and life was good again. A bit nasty recalling systems from customers though, since you can't touch the fuse bits from the program.
