Re: Going home / more stepper speed!

Hi Jon,

I meant to mention before, just don't get the 'scope for stepper
pulses. You'll want to be able to look at processor data and address
lines, port decodes and the like. Maybe even some analog! My 'scope is
an old HP 1740A (100Mhz), which I'm happy with.

'Scopes are a lot like cars, if you grew up with a Chevy, you'll stick
with 'em.

Happy hunting!
