I haven't read the whole thread but, I almost bought a PC multiscope from Jameco https://www.jameco.com product number 163230 or 142834 price $550 and $350, looks pretty good for the proce. I ended up buying a used Techtronix TDS210, great scope if you can afford it. Good Luck, Kevin -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
