But surely
you wouldn't buy one to create a datalogging system.
Actually, I just did...
Having bought one 'for interest' and seen how well made it is (well, it's
HP from the good days of HP :-)). the availalbe I/O, the repairability
(all standard chips, a few PALs and ROMs, but nothing large and custom)
and the easy-to-use BASIC and Pascal, I did, indeed, buy another one of a
different model on E-bay (they don't go for ridiculous prices,
fortuanetly), to use as a data logger/control machine.
