In any case, when it comes to eBay sellers of logic analyzers, be very careful. I remember asking a seller about a particular HP LA where the claim was made as "working". But oddly, no test pods were pictured. I asked the seller about that and the reply was "We don't have pods, but when we

You could try an AMD (ex Xilinx) logic analyser ... Basically, use the logic analysis capabilities provided (free) by FPGA OEMs to construct a DIY LA. In brief, the LA is in the FPGA libraries / GUI, you do of course have to wire them up both inside (Vivado) and outside (level shifters and

Devin,   You have a problem.  The MicroVAX 3800 isn't supported in OpenVMS (VAX/VMS) until version V5.1-1.  You can't run it with any older versions.  It just won't work.  The problem is that DEC introduced the PAK license with V5.0 and unless you have some non-expiring VAX VMS PAK's, there
