I'll second that. I picked up a used HP 16xx something or other with 4
pods of 8 inputs each, and it's been so useful debugging my home
designs. An alternative would be a PC parallel port based model, but
they seem kind of cheesy compared to a nice, solid, HP unit.
I paid less than $200 as I recall - probably just worth it for all the
microclips,
