Yes, there is what appears to be a socketed ROM on the board. Next step seems
to be to dump
the ROM and see what’s inside.

Just curious, is there by chance a removable eprom or other programmable
device on these boards?
Assuming a fairly verbose scpi like command interface, I've occasionally
had luck reverse engineering a command set by looking through an eprom dump
for a list of commands?
Also, does this by chance

I have two of these with 488 interfaces.
Would appreciate any 488 info you get.

Not at all, that must be done in the kernel if you want any accuracy at
all. But you could modify an existing device driver (for the LPT port)
to use GPIO instead to

True. Try a fancy TIA (time interval analyzer) or MDA (modulation domain
analyzer) instead.
Or consider a

I'm thinking here of the $1K sort of device - traceable cal, quite
stable, etc.
Not the $20 RTL-SDR
How can you discriminate between mixes within the USB

Responding to Jim's post ( I can't find his original post), a

This fact was my guiding principle when setting up my lab, and that was
based on Jim Williams'
There is a program for the RPi which handles the PPS input for NTP and can
produce an output on a GPIO pin here:
https://vanheusden.com/time/rpi_gpio_ntp/
but it's user-mode so of limited use. Perhaps the OP could adapt it?
Cheers,
David
