Would an analog scope, like the Tek 465, be useful for a serial
digital signal, like the PS/2 port on a PC?  I guess I'm asking, would
a used Tek 465 or a used TDS 210 be a better buy for a
beginner/hobbyist doing some PC integration projects?  From the looks
of it, a used TDS 210 goes for about 3 times a used Tek 465, but if
it's 3 times as useful, I may consider it.
