Hi Mike,
Oh, ok, those are nice portable scopes, I did own a
Tek 210, which is the bottom of the line older version
of the type you are referring to and I built and
debugged many a classic computer with it, it did
everything I needed it to do, being very light and
small they are nice to move around too, I recommend
one.

Lecroy makes a similar one, but the Tek's are very
popular in industry and used ones can be found on ebay
for $600 or so. I believe HP makes a larger portable
with a built-in 16 channel logic analyzer, which is
very nice, but out of my price range. A analog scope
will have a better front end for the same price, but I
don't have the patience to use one for any of my
projects (personal preference) and of course they are
much larger.
