Yeah, they're pretty amazing. We got the new 16500C for work. (Well, the
R&D guys across the street anyway.) It comes bundled with an HP9000
PA-RISC UNIX box as its display terminal. ;-) 2M-word trace buffer per
channel, 213 channels. Pretty-much overkill in all directions.

I think it was about $65K... (ouch!)
