	With all of the discussion going on regarding the best high end
logic analyzer on the market today, I am sure that there are a number of
serious hardware hackers (or like me- broke engineers) who need an
inexpensive alternative. I found such an item two years ago from B+K
Dynascan Corp. (the TV and CB repair equipment people). They have a
model LA-1020 Analyzer that will store 16 bits x 250 words. The unit
works sync or async up to 10Mhz and trigger on the 16 inputs plus two
qualifiers. For <$2000 mail order it was one of the best bargains I
have in my office. It has been more than sufficient for troubleshooting
problems in both microcontrollers as well as my trusty Apple II. A
CRT, disassembly, and 32 channels would be nice- but how many of you
could shell out $10K+ out of pocket?
It all goes to show- biggest ain't necessarily best.
