I need an oscilloscope for various different projects. I figure the following are my minimum requirements:
2 analog inputs
Relatively fast sampling (>~ 10 MHz?)
Digital capture
> 8 bits
It would be nice if it were smaller and lighter than some of the old scope out there
I really like the Textronix digital scopes but really don't want to spend a few thousand bucks.
I found a few good options for the USB style scopes -- ones that make your PC into a scope. The bitscope looks nice at $475

And I see some references to a DSO-2090 that looks ok. (around $150 I think?)
Do people have any suggestions?
Am I better off finding a $100-200 old scope on eBay or trying one of the USB jobs?
I've never used the USB style -- what do people think of them?
Thanks!
