[time-nuts] Thought experiment on a low cost timing board

Silabs has some 8051 cored chips that run at 100 MHz with close to 1
instruction/cycle. I use them (not for timing), they really are speedy.
The C8051C123 runs at 100 MHz with 2 built-in DACs (and a bunch of other
goodies, such as 128kB of flash, 8k of RAM, 2 x 8 input ADCs, one 8
bits/500ks/s, one 10 bits/100ks/s I believe)
For prototyping, they have the C8051F330D which runs at 25 MHz with a 10
bit DAC in a DIP package.
They have very affordable and well designed development kits too.
