I am planning on making a simple NTP server using the Resolution SMT as
the PPS input and a Rb oscillator (or any other 10MHz clock) to clock
the CPU on the computer. If people are interested in a friendly
interface board to the device let me know. My initial interface board
design puts the PPS on the Carrier Detect line at RS-232 levels as is
typical for this sort of thing, but USB is also very easy to do.

Michael, yes, I would be interested in two boards. Likely I would be
feeding the unit from +5V from a USB cable, so an on-board +3.3V regulator
would be helpful, as would a connection to the non-standard header. I
don't have SMT soldering capabilities, so either a standard 0.1-inch DIL
style board, or a completed unit would be best. I would be prepared to
pay up to around US $20 per board. Serial output from an RS-232 level
port would suit, although I can see scope for a USB-emulated serial as
well. That sounds like a major complication for the board, though.
Cheers,
David
