Is that 100 MHz bandwidth or 100 MHz sample rate?  Most often any MHz 
number on such a scope project is sample rate while commercial scopes 
cite the usable bandwidth.

I believe it was when I was trying to determine the feasibility of the 
scope project that I gave up on the GA144 in general.  There are some 
gaping holes in the timing data provided for the GA144 and when I tried 
to dig a bit deeper into it I was told the info was "confidential" or 
something to that effect.  Seems if you learn the details of the timing 
it might enable you to reverse engineer the comms port design or 
something.  So you can't get detailed timing on I/O operations and so 
you can't use the I/O at close to it's max capabilities.  I was told to 
write my app and measure the performance...  lol   I guess GA 
understands the concept of shooting from the hip and if it doesn't work, 
just scrapping the design.

I shouldn't say I've given up entirely on the GA144.  As I believe I 
mentioned before there are still two projects I might try the GA144 in. 
  One is a DDS design where the GA144 could provide 5 simultaneous 
outputs which could be related signals or completely independent.  The 5 
DAC inputs could be used for clocking, synchronization or other related 
features.

The other project is a receiver app, rather an SDR (software defined 
radio) for low frequency signals.  This could be a direct to antenna 
design if I can get the input threshold stable enough.  In theory this 
could run from a very low power source such as a single AA battery or 
even scavenge power from the environment.  The GA144 might be low power 
enough to pull this off.
