I have a Bitscope. The company has great support, but the hardware is a little hinky - mine quits working after a few minutes, but only when attached to some PCs. The bigger point is that Bitscope is not entirely open source. They publish schematics but not, as far as I can tell, source

I have just uploaded some schematics (nearly, but not fully finished) for a plain PC-based Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) to my homepage: http://www.ssalewski.de/DAD.html.en It's not very useful in its current state, but at least it's an example of how my symbols from my area at gedasymbols
