#151276 - this is one of the reasons

I can see an 'exotic' case or two, for instance the signal being controlled by a PNP transistor connected to Vcc (careful now, if you ever set such a pin low in the code POW!!!)


The POW!!! is the reason why it's not a good idea to use anything which needs pulldowns on '51.

This is the old story: in hardware and software, everything is allowed; but there are things which are to be used with utmost care (and even then it often turns out it was not a good idea to use it).

The reasons why to use "good old" solutions and methods are very often subtle and explicitly untold, but it pays off to "obey the rules".

   try something simple            01/01/70 00:00      
   is it running at exactly 1/3 the devboard speed?            01/01/70 00:00      
      3rd overtone xtal not likely at 11.0592MHz...            01/01/70 00:00      
      3rd overtone crystal?            01/01/70 00:00      
         yes, this means no overtone            01/01/70 00:00      
            good catch            01/01/70 00:00      
            I tried the blinking led...            01/01/70 00:00

         You're right            01/01/70 00:00      
            sounds like intermittent clock            01/01/70 00:00      
               Slow operation, normal UART            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I found the problem            01/01/70 00:00      
                     for what purpose?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        IIRC, it's vanilla in this respect...            01/01/70 00:00
