[hpsdr] Pandora's Box

Brian!

Check out the Nano's instead. I've been trackin' them but not lately. They
appear to have come a long way.

Someone also asked about LCD's and such. This kinda cute and apparently more
are coming.

We did discuss 'stacking' dual Atlas at one point, but it got complex, and
the power connector would have had to go to the rear of the connectors
rather than as current, potentially interfering with plug in cards. Also
unknown effects on the buss. Atlasi is probably a better choice.

Thanks
Eric

One of the advantages of a 7-8 slot computer case would seem to be the
possibility of mounting a mini-ITX board in the case along with ATLAS.
 The mini-ITX boards I've been looking at have a single PCI-E slot
along the right-side  (when viewed from the main I/O plate).  That
would put the mini-ITX board on the far left (viewed from the slot
side) with ATLAS on the right.  An appropriate RF shield would likely
be required between the two.

This could give a 19" rackmount case that would hold both ATLAS and a
dual-core mini-ITX processor board to do the dttsp functions.

Stepping up to a larger slot-count passive backplane rackmount case
might bring the possibility of a dual-ATLAS installation and still
have room for a 4-6 slot PICMG passive backplane for the processing
portion.
