Hi Alex, Thanks for the suggestion. I've had a good look. Cant complain about the price .. $30 incl delivery. Read some posts on their forum about using it as a logic analyser, and it can be done, but it cant store very large samples and it's speeds are in the Khz range not the Mhz ... so probably wont be as useful as I'd like.
