Woosies used card decks and punched paper tape. Real Men use the toggle switches and lamps on the console. One row for address and one row for data. I could do the binary DEC bootstrap loader in my sleep, and often did. Got so I could tell what was running just by the pattern in the lights. Th

Yes and No. Ozy/Janus send frames containing audio samples and some control status bits over a USB pipe that can be read via LIBusb. It reads frames containing transmit data and data destined for the monitor speaker. No in that I don't think the USRP handles that data for the speakers and mi

The other, not quite so obvious alternative to Linux would be to support XP, only, for as long as we can. This is not as strange an idea as it looks. It may be that we aren't the only ones unwilling or unable to enter this brave new world of optimizing everything for the record industry. Plen

Ken -- The stuff has to be finished and shrink-wrapped first. The hardware dependencies aren't big problems. The basic issue is that the Linux development has been getting little more than crumbs. Brilliant crumbs, to be sure, like John Melton, Edson Pereira, and Bob Cowdery. Crumbs nonetheless.

Re: [Flexradio] Linux, any chance of a knoppix like setup?

Dear smart Linux guys, I wonder if in the future there might be any chance of a Knoppix LiveCD style setup for PowerSDR? It would be so wonderful to have a pre-configured O/S that I can run off my CDROM (or 1GB USB stick) with everything in RAM. Perhaps dependencies on parallel port, display, a
