Im seeking a bootloader for ATmega8 16 Mhz but i can only find bootloaders who using the internal oscillator. I want to use the external 16 MHz oscillator.
Can you help me?
/ Thanks P
Doesn't this do that?

Thank you!
I haven't notice that Arduino NG did use the ATmega8 withg 16 Mhz 
Yep, NG is the guy. Anyway, good luck with the 10 second wait each startup.
Maybe there's an optiboot for atmega8.
Optiboot also includes support for ATmega8 at 16MHz. The optiboot_atmega8.hex distributed with the Arduino IDE should do it, but you'll have to edit a boards.txt manually. the latest optiboot no longer includes an ATmega8 .hex file, but you can build it yourself.

Is my modified boards.txt entry will work on external 16MHz Crystal config. fresh bought blank ATmega8-16PU MCU's?
