[piclist] Re: 12F675 Startup Problems

To make it work I had to change the the value that gets moved into
OSCCAL. Since the serial routine that I used had been around awhile
I can only assume that the problem is in the Pic oscilator. Don't
know what to do to fix it though as I don't want to have to
calibrate each pic chip.
