farooq,

You think it's a hassle not being able to encode 11059200 just wait until you try to move it into an 8 bit register.

A little jest, as the 8051 cannot work directly with a 24 bit value, you must break it into 8 bit Most, Mid, Least significant bytes. And this is one way to handle it in Metalink.

xtal_hi   equ 0A8H
xtal_mid  equ 0C0H
xtal_lo   equ 000H
