Well, I tried a 16.257 MHz crystal (all I could find locally) and no luck !
Actually, some luck but then strangeness. I was able to upload... once. After that I started getting the following error:
Binary sketch size: 1010 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51
Soo much frustration now. I suppose I will have to bite the bullet and order a few 16MHz crystals and wait the days it will take to get here.
Anyone have any other hints ?
