        Check your E-mail for a couple of photos, and some details (don't want 
to send photo attachments to the list).

        Eventually, I'll have that (and many other mods and neat fixes) up on 
my web site.

        No, pretty simple in there. Just one main board, a power supply, and a 
line filter. Keep in mind that the 200 was designed to be an "inexpensive 
solution" for IT folk that just wanted a simple time server.

        Now, with that said -- It IS possible to modify the thing to get 
disciplined 10MHz out, as well as 1PPS. You simply add the two missing PC-mount 
BNC jacks (the cutouts are already in the rear panel for them), and a couple of 
chip resistors. The bad news is that the thing's master oscillator is pretty 
cheesy. I wouldn't expect it to behave anywhere near as well as a dedicated 
OCXO in a real GPS-disciplined frequency standard.

        Keep the peace(es).
