A company called Wittig Test Technology in Germany has been running ads in 
EDN for what looks like the same thing.  It looks like a logic probe, has a 
little LCD display on the side, and a row of buttons along the top.  
Includes software for DOS & windows.  The ad doesn't have many specifics.  
I've sent off for more info, I'll post when I get it.  The price in the ad 
is also $99.99 qty 1.  If you want to see the ad look for "Wittig 
Testelektronik" in the advertisers index.
