Hi Wolfram and Chris,

Chris, you asked for an ethical company and for a product that
you can recommend to colleagues. In this case, I must strongly
insist that DreamsSource labs is not an ethical company since they
treated (and still treat) the sigrok project like shit.

Hence, I strongly advice against the DSLogic. I am well aware that
unfortunately, the hardware looks good and offers features a lot
of people are looking for, but people should be aware that when
they buy a DSLogic, they're giving sigrok the middle finger.

As of now, there unfortunately is not much hardware available that
does what you want, however. You can get lucky with a Saleae Logic
16 clone (not exactly ethical either), with a Sysclk LWLA (not open),
with an Openbench Logic Sniffer (open hardware/firmware), a Saanlima
Pipistrello (open hardware/firmware) or a Hantek 4032L (not open).
Unfortunately, I don't possess either of those, so I can't make
any meaningful recommendation beyond this list.

In the future, we'll see USB3 LAs coming up, some Cypress FX3-based,
some FTDI FT60x-based. I honestly can't wait for them to show up so
that people stop recommending the DSLogic.

@Wolfram: don't take this personally, btw. I know you mean well.
I just feel extremely strongly about DreamSource labs.
