If you look at the assembly manual, the 100nF cap next to the 8-pin connector on top is not supposed to be loaded.

Hmm Mike I read the manual and the pics according to the manual, are wrong because it was a beta PCB therefore I went by the text. The manual says, "Now install the 8 .1uf capacitors in the locations marked for them. these are almost just wires but the have a small bump in the middle. Solder them in the same. "
Where does that say dont install the on at the top? It doesnt and that was the problem. So I did take a little offense to telling me to look at the manual, when I did.
I personally solder from top to bottom thinnest parts to bigger parts as it makes it easier to hold the stuff in place when I flip the board over.
It would be nice for the manual to be updated and reflect the information at the top is not need and is for something RJ has not put in yet.
Back to the positive side, got the first one up and running and it is running like a champ. Thanks for the Coop and RJ thanks for the great clock. It rocks.
