I used a PC-based software scope that worked fairly

a definite must-have for any serious serial-based development work.
Yup, and I still have it too. It was called "BreakOut II", and did come with
a Y cable. You can't just solder up a Y cable, as I recall some diodes were
required. I'm sure I still have the cable here somewhere too.
However, the PC software just isn't as cool as a real datascope :) Not to
mention, even though BreakOut II was the big commercial product at the time
I bought it, it surely doesn't come close to the nicety of the real
datascope either.
