The ettiquete of Windows 98 on an HP Oscilloscope

[J.C. Wren]

    I used ours for about a year (we had 4 of them, actually), never had 
a problem.  You have to understand that Win98 is pretty stable when 
you're not using all these wonky third part drivers for goofy little 
webcams, off-brand video cards, discount Taiwanese USB devices, etc.  
Basically, it boots up and provides graphics and disk storage to an 
application.  The front panel is nothing more than a bunch of I/O, and 
the D/As and amps for the probes are an input device.

    The application boots up, you've got a scope.  Very reliable.
