[SI-LIST] Re: Single crystal driving two different inputs of a chip

Drivig two CMOS inputs should be no problem - they present much less load
than AS and F chips used to present in the past (somewhat more capacitance,
but should be no issue).
 However, given the analog nature of the signal, the jitter this aproach will
introduce will likely be much greater than it would be if just buffering the
signal.
