[hpsdr] board orders

[Lawrence Stoskopf]

 From a non-developer, but anxious user: 

1.  One might assume that some or most of the guys ordering ATLAS boards 
will want some or most of the plug in boards, so would expect significant 
orders of the non-beta boards. 

2.  With the specialized parts, such at the DSP chips, it is going to be 
tough for everyone to get from a supplier in ones or twos and I suspect that 
eventually someone is going to have all the boards and parts for a project 
and never be able to get one of the special ones and no substitute.  I found 
this problem out when I planned a project around a special op amp, verified 
that it was available, laid the board out and submitted the layout to 
ExpressPC, got called to dinner, came back and the total stock was sold out 
a mere four hours later. 

This is a great project, not sure how these issues can be resolved.  Not 
picking on the Pinoccio board order, but after what we will all end up 
spending on this project, the cost of a couple of those boards is very 
minimal if ordered in bulk.
