Welll, Rodney I trying to convince me to get into SID observing.

Is anyone using a Raspberri Pi for the backend?

SID + Raspberry Pi

I'm using a self-build 1 x 1m antenna, a SuperSID monitor from Stanford Solar Center as amplifier, a Raspberry Pi, a cheap USB audio device as A/D converter, and the supersid software from Eric Gibert.

Works like a charm for me ;)
