Interesting tiny scope

[Mike O'Dell]

$200 for a 1MHz toy?

the Rigol 50MHz dual-trace color scope can be had
for the low $300s to $400 if you look around a bit.
it samples at 1GHz and has a million point buffer

it can be hacked, too, because the 100MHz version and the
50MHz version differ only in price and 1 bit of config data
in the eprom.

BTW - Rigol builds the low-end scopes for Agilent.
