I've been seeing ads recently for the HP 'LogicDart'.  Looks more like a
meter/logic analyzer than a scope, but it might be worth checking into.
Portable, runs off batteries, and samples at up to 100 MSa/s.  It's listed
at $795 (!) in the new TestEquity rag, so you're gonna pay for portability.
 It looks like it's about the same size as an HP-48 calc, so it's not as
tiny as the rat shack toy.


Haven't used one, but the HP mixed signal scope (54645D) looks like it
would be a real winner for embedded design.  It's a cool $5k though.
