I picked up a B&K Storage Scope adapter from Ebay fairly
inexpensively. It plugs into the front end of ones regular scope and then
behaves like a storage scope...<br><br>
Called a B&K Model 2501 10 M Sample/Second Dual Channel Digital
Storage Adapter...now to find the schematics. I have the operators
manual.<br><br>

<dd>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>
<dd>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><br>

<dd><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><br>
<dd> <br>
<dd><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><br>
