And while Ned is doing this "wonderful thing", I am arranging my limited test equipment on the "Kitchen-Table" (actually a surplus Bell Labs metal desk in my study) to finish the breadboard of the first new-style instrument for the next century. (A StarTrek Tricorder) Unfortunately, with my limited resources, I can't design the 2 GHz version, but the lower bandwidth DSO/TDR is doable -- Nearly all chips for it are <Heritage devices>, meaning: designs 10 years old, and so is the PCMCIA format, and I myself am ancient; my first patent was on tube circuits (transistors without silicon). Old chips and old engineers are "cheap", component cost for this card is $75, and if I can convince my favorite data-acquisition company to market it as a PC-peripheral, at the customary four times component cost, a dream of my youth will come true. As undergraduate student I desperately wanted an oscilloscope I could carry with me, to actually let me "see" the electrons flowing through the circuits, and here it is. Not many of the millions of engineering students in this world can afford the $2200 for the handheld 100 MHz FLUKE or the $2300 for the similar Tek scope. But the $300 for this little Card-Scope can be earned with a part-time job, and most students already have some kind of computer that will either except a PC-Card, or a PCI bus USB card for $29.95. -------------------Go Specification ------>
