Tom Folkers:
     1. More work with RT-Linux. Trying to get to the bottom of the 
        system crashes. I found the problem, I just have to find a 
        work around.
     2. Also considering other RealTime systems.
     3. Had to take a couple of personal days.
Tom Sargent:
     1. I got the Traquiar DSP card to pass its "confidence tests".
     2. Had to get Windows 98 installed in the VmWare system because 
        Traquair recommended it. Their code is not Win 2000 
        compatible. I reinstalled the Traquiar PC-side development 
        software on the Win 98 system.
     3. I Learned how to compile a C program on the PC and download it 
        into the DSP processor, but I am having trouble getting one of 
        the Traquair test programs to run correctly. I emailed 
        Traquair and they were able to reproduce the failure.  I am 
        still working with it.  I will start writing some programs of 
        my own also.

Pete Hubbard:
     1. Making ribbon cables and wiring interface chassis.
     2. Finishing chassis rear connector mounting.
     3. Looking up data sheet for using Burr-Brown ADS7800 12 bit ADC 
        with unipolar input signals.
