   Yes. :)  I'd love an EC-1, but they're much easier to ship than an H-1.

   I am swimming in oscilloscopes.  Seriously, I think I have over 
thirty oscilloscopes now.  I think I have a problem. ;)  I have a few 
Nicolet digitizing scopes, and I have a nice Tek RM561A that should be a 
nice fit for the H-1 in repetitive mode.

   With the H-1, I got a Heath IR-18M chart recorder.  It's not 
functional; I've gotta find schematics for it and see what's up.  Though 
it's mechanically free, the pen carriage won't move at all under 
electronic control.

   I have an HP 7090A plotter (wonderful device by the way, have you 
seen it?) that will be nice to use with this.  I'd really like to find 
one of the ancient pure analog X/Y plotters from HP to run the H-1 into.
