I repair 8-Bit computers (Late 70's to early 90's) and an LA is well worth having.

I spent the last weekend fighting with an Olivetti M10 (Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 clone) with my DS1104z and a Saleae 8...
I'm quite happy with the instrument setup but totally lost on how to debug my old friend.
May I contact you in private for a quick chat?
Going back on topic, i think there is no comparison between the DS1000z and the DS1052E.
With the DS1000z you get so many features, software options (for free), memory, channels (double
), bandwidth (double for free) ....
You can have a really specific need for the old DS1052E but generally speaking i can't see it.
All the rumors with some bugs are just because there is a lot o interest in this scope, so many people bought it and all possible small bug have a huge visibility even though most of this bugs are really nuances and Rigol is constantly releasing improvements.
