Ok, what am I missing? I am running an ATMega328 off the internal clock, it's a completely vanilla chip (TQFP) soldered to a PCB and I am programming it with a usbtinyisp programmer and have tried various 328/8MHz board options. What I am seeing is that programming the board to send serial at 9600 I need to set the serial monitor to 1200 baud to get sensible output.
The quarter rate clock also seems to apply to Delay too, If I run Blink it flashes at roughly 4 seconds rather than 1 second.
Did you program the fuses? Default is 1/8 the internal 8MHz oscillator.
I've done that to myself lots of times, downloaded a sketch sans bootloader and have it run reeeeeeaalllly sloooooow. Half hour later I remember the fuses.
Now I try to remember to burn the bootloader first every time just to set the fuses, and then download a sketch via ICSP if I am planning to run bootloaderless.
