WOW, thanks for all the info!!!I will use those cool DC-DC power converters on lots of project motherboards, now that I know they exist.Very interested in the "embedded systems" options, many more to select from than I had suspected, thanks. I do not crave super precision for this NTP application, but would like to obtain at least what I have now w/ ATOM, and FreeBSD PPS Trimble TB configuration. Did replace the sleeve bearing fan w/ ball bearing, so now the SPL is below 90db in the shack.Now have tolerable environment to contemplate and work on the new solution! 73FrankKJ4OLL _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
