OK I am in the process of building this now.  Will let you know how testing 
goes.

Are you missing a reference clock?  If so perhaps some of the list members can 
get together the needed hardware for you.  The users of my open source project 
have made donations that have allowed me to get specialized hardware (color 
meters and spectrophotometers) for testing some of which is way more expensive 
than any of these reference clocks except for an actaul atomic clock.  


There are several different GPS reference clocks that can be put together for 
a modest cost with a little effort (Garmin GPS 18 LCV and Motorola OnCore come 
to mind).  For example, I have a ttl to rs-232 interface board laying around 
that I could donate and if someone were to donate an OnCore I could put 
together a wiring harness and mount the OnCore and the rs-232 interface on a 
board and use a USB connection for power.  I could ship it to you tested and 
ready to go.  It wouldn't be pretty but it would work. 


It would make it easier for everyone, including you, if you were able to test 
things.
