what is your rating? which one is the best?


If anything, a logic probe is far more convenient for computer repair. Apart from power supply noise, I don't see any task for an oscilloscope.

Kind regards, Gerard Bok

A hand-held network analyzer would be more useful (for technicians). An oscilloscope could be useful in computer repair but board swapping would usually be much quicker. Also, it's more often the software that is at fault than the hardware.

I'd say the software and hardware are equally at fault in the grand scheme of things. Bad hardware can be made better (but not good) with good software while good hardware can be made bad with bad software.

www.uncreativelabs.net Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind ourselves of what we once had.
