I finally got my hands on an osiclloscope! 10 CAD at a garage sale this
week-end. The beast is OLD, but works! I can't find a model number, but
it says "Push pull" and "Extended range" on the front. I bought it
with an
course text book from Institut Teccart Montreal dated 1944 (in French).
Last couple of chapters are about tubes, which is nice because my
knowledge of tubes is limited.
OK, so it's not a computer, but, uh, I'm going to use it to debug
computers! Yeah, that's the ticket. But it doesn't go to very high
frequencies... SO I'm going to use it to debug 9600 baud serial
connections! Yeah, that's the ticket.
