It's looking like a 'scope will become a necessity for me fairly shortly.

The stuff I'm playing around with are PICs and small embedded Java systems.
Nothing with a clockspeed > 70Mhz...and I'm mostly interested in looking at
things like 1-wire networks, I2C, SPI, async serial, etc.

Price is a major consideration right now, so I was looking at the OPTAscope
81M...which is a PeeCee-based 'scope that plugs into the USB port. Any
comments?

Are would I be better off searching on eBay for a used Tektronix or HP
'scope? If so, any recommendations on models?

TIA.
