Terje,

I tested NTP with the Sure board on a Windows-7 64-bit system for several 
hours today, and I could see no difference:

The actual period was from about 09:30 to just after 15:00 UTC.  This is 
very much at odds with the behaviour I see on a similar 32-bit system:

  http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/stamsund_ntp_2.html

and makes me wonder whether the QPC interpolation of the PPS edge is 
working correctly.  Admittedly, the 32-bit system does have Dave Hart's 
excellent serialPPS.sys driver (lacking on the 64-bit system because it's 
not signed), so I may test the 32-bit system without the Atom driver to 
see how it affects things.

Cheers,
David
