For boat anchor logic analyzer fans, you can sometimes find reasonable deals if you are patient. The last boat anchor logic analyzer I picked up around 3 months ago was an Agilent 16902A, which included a 16910A 102-channel 32M-sample analyzer module (plus a couple of other modules) for a total of $200 including shipping in the US. This deal was probably better due to the 16902A lacking a hard drive, which was easy for me to replace and reload the OS and application software, as that is something I had already been through a few times.
The Agilent / Keysight 16900 and 16800 series logic analyzers run Windows XP (or Windows 7 in the much nicer and faster newer versions), and can be remotely controlled by the logic analyzer application running on a remote PC. In some cases the remote control might provide a better user experience if the logic analyzer application runs on a significantly faster modern system than locally on the 1GHz PIII motherboard built into the original 16900 series logic analyzers.
Whats the going price for the Agilent/Keysight 16902A Logic Analyzer with a couple of modules? Looking into one of these but don't know the pitfalls with them. They look vary capable.
TIA
