Would it be a sacrilege to use a HP scope to repair a
Tektronix
terminal. (I have only HP scops.) ;-)
No worse than using a Tektronix 'scope to trace a fault in an HP
computer, and I'll bet many of us have done that...
[Quite why you'd prefer an HP 'scope to a Tekky is beyond me, thouygh :-)]
Are there people who insist on only using test equipment that was around
when the device-under-repair was new? Personally, I'll use whatever I
have that's appropriate, which means I'll happily work on a 1970's
computer with a 1990's LogicDart.
