2017’s Aaron Chen Tonight occured by happenstance when the host of the previously-launched John Conway Tonight took ill. His sidekick, a then young Aaron Chen, was catapulted into the limelight.
That hasn't solved the issue though. The crystal we are using is ABC2-6.000MHZ-4-T from Abracon. I thought I saw in some other forum posts that the ABC2 series was acceptable as a crystal for this IC.
