[Ham-Mac] usb oscilloscopes + osx

[Lew Phelps K6LMP]

Have you looked at the Perfectly Scientific product?  See:

http://www.perfsci.com/hardware.htm

This is a $150 PCI slot board that provides analog I/O, and mates  
with (free) software. One of the functions of the software is to  
provide an "oscilliscope-like" plot of the data.  The web site says,  
" This panel ("Scope") gives you a pseudo-oscilloscope display of one  
or more A/D channels. The default setting is to use the data  
collected in the Capture pane. Click Refresh to trigger a new data  
acquisition sequence."

I have never tried this product, but it appears from the product  
literature to be worthy of consideration.
