This is pretty much the same conclusion that I keep coming back to. Although I don't think that the SDR-1000's PC necessarily need be embedded. FWIW I drive my SDR-1000 (& other SDR experiments) dedicated XP machine 90% of the time via VNC from my main 3 monitor W2K system even though the SDR-1000's PC is on the same KVM with the W2K box.
