Yes - Joe has written an excellent manual for Mercury - we are just 
waiting for some final PowerSDR screen shots to complete it and then it 
will be released.  As Bill said - we did not expect the Post Office to 
get the boards out so quickly!

Correct - Just Ozy and Mercury for a receiver, add Penelope for a 1/2 
watt exciter.

Correct. If there is enough interest we will look at adding support for 
Janus later on. For now, selecting Mercury in PowerSDR will inhibit I&Q 
data from Janus being sent to PowerSDR.

There is an overview of HPSDR hardware and FPGA code in the latest RSGB 
Radio Communications Handbook. Good starting point... but I am biased!
