I like your thinking though! Thanks for all the suggestions guys. The originaly suggested Dataq devices = are absolutely perfect and very well priced, apart from shipping and custom= s whch would roughly tripple it for me I suspect. One of the original links that Tamas posted was http://www.scopedem.com/ wh= ich isn't an overly informative page, but I found that the devices are occa= isionaly sold on Ebay under the username scopedem. From the pictures I sus= pect it has a USB PIC. Quite basic but comes with host program (and source= code) so would seem to suit my limited needs ok for a reasonable =A315.
