* What is the clock speed of the FPGA?  Timing constraints must be taken into account to link the multiple blocks.

* Current designs (11 July, 2007) account for normal activity.  Need to design modules/logic for startup and initialization of each component.

* Current designs (11 July, 2007) account for normal activity.  Need to design modules/logic for startup and initialization of each component.  This should not be only on startup; we should be able to send a reset packet over Ethernet to trigger a reinitialization of each chip.

* Do the parts work on falling or rising edges of the clock?  Most VHDL designs are currently on rising edges, but this can be easily corrected.

* The temperature sensor and the ADC share the same SPI-like bus lines; can they be combined into a single VHDL design?
