Sheesh, that seems like a fairly simple device. It generates a low
current ac signal, switches it through a number of gates, and stores the
results. The Huntron 2000 can be replaced with a scope and about $10 in
parts. Perhaps the DSI 700 would cost about $100 in parts and stuff. I
think reverse engineering on this item would be a snap.
Speaking though of interesting software/hardware, has anyone else looked
at BG Micro's ( http://www.bgmicro.com ) SOFTLA product?
I bought one to try out, and it looks interesting. "Turn your PC into a
logic analyzer." "Monitor up to 16 channels simultaniously, with this
nufty piece of softwear. Measure time in micro seconds between any tow
points." Software $29.95, cable kit $17.90. Requires 286 or faster with
a bi-directional parallel port (non bi-directional will only support 8
traces)
Well?
