Thanks Alfred, for that!
I've already posted an updated (equivalently modified) version of
Mercury v6.7.rbf, Quartus II archive file, and USBBlaster-Binaries to
my website so that there is an option to use LVDS between the Mercs if
you wish to share the 122.88 MHz clock that way.
Alfred's observation that when using LVDS to distribute the 122.88MHz
clock the second Merc doesn't start until the first is running is a
potentially important one as the sequential LVDS method of sharing the
122.88MHz clock has the possibility of stabilizing the relative phase
between the multiple Mercs on start up (or not, hihi). I will be
checking that with my fingers crossed!
73, Joe K5SO
