450 ohm backlight resistor instead of 82 ohm resistor for appropriate v-drop.
larger electrolytic capacitor (470uf instead of 330uf).
In another post you mentioned you switched to a 20Mhz xtal.
Is the code switched over to use the 20Mhz xtal vs the 16Mhz one?

I'm building my own from scratch and just want to 'load the code and go'.

thanks,
Dave

Edit: Found your post and indeed you switched to 20Mhz. Did the oscillator bypass caps have to change value when you went to 20Mhz?
