Only gotcha about DSOs are they suck as XY displays. You'll want to
hang on to the old scope for use a a vector display if you fix vector
games.<br>
<br>
That being said, a good basic (and extremely portable) scope is the
Tektronix TDS-220 with the optional communications pack (RS-232,
IEEE-488, and parallel). Any of their other scopes are a step up from
that, but may NOT have the communications you need.<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I've been using a Tek 465 for a
while. (I use my scope fairly regularly, but I do tend to work off my
Fluke 9010 more.) I am thinking of getting a digital scope, and what
I'd really like to do is to have the capability to capture waveforms
and transfer them to my PC. I'm just starting to look at the various
options, and it looks like the HP54600 might be a good choice. Lately
they've seemed a little pricey on eBay. I do like the Tek name brand,
so I wouldn't be adverse to a Tek DSO, I think the TDS is the right
model line?</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Anyway, any recommendations on what
to get? It's important for me to have the capability to transfer the
images to my PC, but I don't think I need anything faster than 100MHz.
In fact, the less expensive the better because I do find that I only
use my scope 25% of the time. The rest of the time I get the
information I need from my probe and test scripts. </font></div>
