Wouter,

 You might like to consider a product called 'SoftLA' by BGMicro.
 It's inexpensive, works well for it's purpose, and is simple.
 It uses the parallel printer port on your computer.  Add a few
 wires, some clips at the end, a D25 connector at the other end,
 and the software.  Depending on your port, you can have a s many
 as 16 traces at once.   The faster your computer, the faster the
 setup will sample.  With a lowly 166 Mhz Pentium notebook, I can
 get into the 100's of ns with little trouble.  If I use fewer traces,
 I can get somewhat faster accesses.  For the money, it's a bargain in
 my book.   I have used it several times on PIC projects, and it's been
 a big help.

 Anyway, just food for thought.

                                            Regards,

                                              Jim
