I remember that last spring (or so) someone had posted to the net about
making an Apple II into an oscilloscope. I don't remember who it was, but
at that time he said he was very busy preparing his Thesis, but had the
schematics for doing it on his mac or something. I don't even know if he's
around anymore. I used to have his address and wrote to him a few times
about it. But he was always too busy. He said that it made a fair oscilloscope
too. I'd love to get my hands on those plans!! Anybody else out there (
or this person if he's still around) have plans like these available?
I'm sure people would love to see them, and even pay.
