I really liked the project list, quite interesting. Small suggestion
though, I would use a max232 to deal with the serial port connection. It
may actually work wiring it directly, but true RS232 (not many computers
are true RS232 anymore) actually is -12V to +12V.

I always wanted to do the darn clock on XY scope, yet another thing I'll
never have time for :-(
