Hello Greg
Nice proposal, I'm going to connect a second GPS receiver to some commodity
server hardware. Even if this isn't really a measurement, I then can compare
the embedded board against some standard hardware and check if there's a major
difference between the two systems.
Regards

I'll second all the other comments.
Another thing you can do is get a few more models of GPS receiver with PPS, and
a few more computers, and hook up one GPSr to each computer, and compare them
across the LAN. Of course, you can't really conclude that PPS is off from
this, but if you see really close agreement (sub ms, and maybe even 100 us),
that's a clue that each of your local GPSr/PPS setups is ok.
Of course, having one GPSr for timing is normal, two not so wierd, three a bit
funny, and soon after that you're that crazy guy with too many GPS receivers
that everybody crosses the street to avoid :-)
