[time-nuts] GPS puck?

[Rex]

I just did a little shopping after Tom's recommendation on USGlobalSat 
pucks. Here is a little more detail.

BU-353-S4 is the current USB version
BR-355-S4 is the Serial version

Not as "dirt cheap" as Mark's unit, these close to $40 each, but 
reasonable with enclosures, ready to go. In the US I found Amazon a 
little cheaper than eBay listings.

Serial has a PS-2-style connector but needs an adapter for connection to 
PC. Connector pin-out is here...

They come in both USB (if you want to use them with a PC or SBC) or RS232/serial (if you want to use them with microcontrollers or data loggers or PC or SBC). The 1PPS is available at the IC, which you can access by opening the case (screws, not glue).
