I bought a used 1662 off eBay for cheap, and it has

work I've been doing on a PDP-11. I think the external clock is often a
pretty critical feature in being able to sensibly interpret traces.
Sophisticated triggering is also very useful for catching a suspected
misbehaving chip in the act.
I had considered some of the more modern USB options at the time because it
seemed they would be convenient, but in the end I opted for a used old-school
tool because it had the features I needed at less actual cost. I have not
regretted the decision -- super useful tool!
Cheers Fritz, given that I'll only ever be working on this era kit I too
think the old-skool approach might be better.
