Like some other lurkers who have spoken up, I'm excited to contribute as
best I can, which at the moment probably amounts to making sure purchase
quotas are met :-). My biggest concern has been making sure I don't miss the
call for orders (as I have a number of times with the Softrock 40 project
:-( ).

I'm quite interested in what can be done in the non-PC based software front
(i.e. Linux, OS X, etc.). My hope is that this will evolve into the
generation past the SDR-1000 (with appropriate kudos to Mr. Youngblood).

I don't know if anyone has addressed this, but to me the heart of the system
will be the ADC, and as time passes the performance of the ADC devices will
get better and better. I apologize if this is a dumb question, but has
anyone done some crystal-ball gazing to verify that everything (i.e. buses,
data widths, clock rates) will work with, for example, a future 250 MSPS
20-bit ADC rather than a 130 MSPS 16-bit? Having said that, the project
seems to be well ensconced in the hands of a set of veritable hardware
geniuses  :-). Thanks Phil, Eric, Lyle, et al.
