Mike not sure what the above means. As to the FPGA I suspect that may be a
good approach i am messing with various micros and languages and they all
sort of run out of steam especially when you need to be able to use numbers
of instructions to make a DPLL.
I did build a hardware counter that I could speed up slowdown or leave the
same so that I could essentially build a phase accumulator.
But not sure what patents are going to cause a problem.
