Thanks for the info Rainer. I ended up picking up a Logic Probe from Radio
Shack as it was only $18.  Even if its not top of the line, it should work
plenty fine for this job (and more later).  If I get more serious about
building these kits and the extra stuff later, then perhaps I'll begin looking
into my own O-scope.  I've seen 10MHz ones for about $250 and going up from
there in $$ and capability.  Would be cool to own one but for now I'll stick
with what I have.   Thanks again.

Hi Scott, I assembled three 6.270 boards (kind of grandpa of handyboard) some month ago and didn't need an Oscilloscope or a Logic Probe. I guess you'll only need such things if you run into trouble with getting started with your handyboard. So, try (...) (25 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
