all's been quiet on activities on Hermes and Apollo. I was very excited
when I first came across these in the website and wiki several months ago;
The Hermes concept is a nice follow-on to Mercury and Penelope, building
on these projects but in a more compact and lower cost form of you dont
need/want the expansion/replacement capability of the Atlas backplane, and
the Apollo is a a great complement to Hermes, building on Pennywhistle with
added functionality of LPFs and ATU. I like the idea of a complete compact
low power transceiver but with other options for higher transmit power if
you need that. I have not seen any further discussion since the posts
for Hermes about ethernet being preferred over USB and some noise issues.
I understand other priorities on other projects are being worked,
but Hermes and Apollo seem to have fallen off the radar
screen for awhile. Are the final designs for these solidifying?
Might it be possible to put Hermes Verilog code in the svn (the original USB
version?)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
