I noticed in a new Heathkit catalog that Heath sells
a kit for an oscilloscope add-on for a PC.  It
has two 50 MHz channels with 256-bit resolution, and
connects to a PC (or any other computer) via a rs-232 port.
There are no controls on the box, just 2 BNC sockets for the
probes.  The specs indicate that it has a good range of capabilities
in the areas of triggering and adjustable horizontal sweep times and
vertical sensitivities.  It comes with source code (in Basic)
for the software.  It cost $400.

This sounds neat.  Has anyone seen or used one?
How much would a comparable real scope cost?
Does anyone know anything about similar products
on the market?
