And I still have a Tektronics 4 channel 1GHz digital sampling oscilloscope
running WinNT. It is sitting on my desk now and I use on occasion for my
consulting projects. Also have a 1GHz Fet probe.
I did take the precaution of getting a PATA to SATA interface to an SSD drive
and cloned the 80GByte Seagate drive, as a backup. I tested the SSD with
SATA-PATA interface and the scope boots WinNT. The Tek scope 15 years ago cost
$25K.
