Can the USB scope be used with a computer that runs on Windows 2000 Professional version?

The website says XP recommended, and Windows 95 and 98 are not supported.· But I don't find any comment on Windows 2000.

Thank you.

    I'm currently running it on a 2000 box.

    Thanks Tom.· What is your comment on the scope?· Do you find it very useful?

    I'm considering purchasing one, but wondering if it is worth the money.

    Thank you.

    I bought the OptaScope, which is an earlier version of the USB scope, some time ago and I consider it an invaluable tool.· I can tell if I am getting a serin or serout signal, measure pulse widths, time between events, and many other things.· I couldn't have done some of the things I did without it.· I heartily recommend it.

    I second the recommendation. I have used it for checking all of my "non-trvial" circuits. At Stamp speeds, it gives a great picture of what is happening, and the fact that it is dual-trace can really help in the diagnosis of timing issues.
