Whilst it is true that Janus has no function with a Mercury based 
system, it could still be useful in conjunction with Ozy to form a high 
performance audio system. I have two Janus cards, and now two spare Ozy 
boards after I upgraded to Metis. I did run a heavily modified version 
of KissKonsole to get the data in from Janus, but that was a while ago 
and I didn't actually find a real need for such a setup.

I could use it with my old SDR1000, but that is so last-decade now.

It needs a connection, of course, and I only have one spare Atlas. It is 
the only one of the HPSDR boards, as far as I know, that actually needs 
the -12v supply.

I plan on hanging on to them, and one day a need will arise that the 
Janus/Ozy combo will satisfy.
