Just joined the list and noticed the discussion about finding a
cheap USB GPS with PPS on it.

I'm using one plugged into an ALIX 2d2 with Debian linux and
GPSD/NTP. It makes for a nice 12volt NTP server for portable use.
PPS is available at a test point on the board and I noticed that ALL
the interfaces are active at the same time !
I was able to monitor it over 232, USB and BlueTooth simultaneously
from different PC's
For ~$40 including the antenna and free postage they're a bargain !
very nice :)
regards
Tim

A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
Peter Cooper, of Fermi Lab, says, "Every experimentalist knows
that the apparatus, or at least your understanding of it, is
always at fault until demonstrated otherwise." He also says,
"Nature is really unmoved by what I, or anyone else, believes."
