We do get
flames, alas, normally when I forget that there are people who
 don't own (or even want to own) an oscilloscope, and that such people do
 not intend to attack their porr little vintage computers with a soldering
 iron... 
 I don't have a scope, just a handheld meter and a soldering iron so where am
 I in the equation? 
 
Humm... Perhaps on the smarter side :-) It seems test gear can become a
"sickness"
too ... A quick inventory turned up 7 scopes, 2 logic analysers, at least a dozen
multimeters, 4 counters, 4 EPROM programmers, several irons and stations, more
emulators and evaluation boards than I care to count, and a whole pile more
"essential tools" ... (If anyone's REALLY bored, I put a partial list on my
"information about me" page a while back).
And I thought it was just the classic systems that were crowding me out of my
workshop...
