hello,
	i am in the process of building a digital capacitance meter for a
school design project and am looking for a crystal which will produce 40 MHz.
i have checked the ECG catalog but the highest they go is 22 MHz.  can anyone
point me in the direction of such a beast.  
	also, i was told that the "Pierce Oscillator" circuit was a popular
configuration to use as a clock, but i am not sure if this will be adequate
for this application.  does anyone know if this is true and if so what other
configurations exist which will produce a cleaner output clock? (CMOS,74HCTXX)
	if anyone can help me out with this, i'd appreciate if you could
respond by e-mail and i'll summarize.

	thanks in advance,

	brian wybaillie
