For a 'scope, I have an ancient Tek 7834 400 MHz mainframe, with two

confess that it's mostly decorative, these days.  I've thought about
selling it but it's so damn cool looking.  All the knobs and buttons and
switches that you could desire!  8)

I never had a 'scope. I did have a primitive RatShack probe on a serial
connection.

I should dig around. I'm a packrat so it must be around someplace. 
xProbeScope.c is a good example of something that will be obsolete when
Wayland takes over. When you see functions that start with X and not Xt or
Xm you know you're down in the XLib weeds and probably doing stuff that
Wayland isn't going to let you do.

Might be an interesting project for PySide6.

It was an interesting idea, a bit ahead of its time. I've got an HiLrtgp 8
channel USB logic analyzer that is basically the same idea that is pretty
handy. It's a Salae clone for about a tenth of the cost. I have the
PulseView app on Windows but sigrok.org seems to be a 404 currently. I'm
not sure if the Saleae software will work.

Trivia: it uses a souped up 8051. Some things never die.
