I spent most of the week looking into crosstalk.  I read several papers
and parts of a book on microstrips.  We plan to use a lot of microstrips
on Gumby?.  I to the point were I should be able to talk to Dave Quint about
his program and make sure that the results apply to Gumby?.  I also looked
at two test board with the TDR and a scope to get a feel for how much
coupling we would have and how microstrips behave relative to strip-lines.

I made a little progress on pinouts.  We should be able to get electronic
copies of the pinouts this week.

The memory architecture has continued to take time.  We may decide this week
to give up and let the architecture change.  We have been told that there will
be no problem with getting wavers if it does change.  I feel that the changes
could be made in a way that would not effect the MC-F.  the problem is that
the people making the changes have no desire to keep the MC-F architected.

I moved to my new area this week.  There were no major problems.
