2000-12-18 Announcing ProtoPOD for BitScope !

ProtoPOD integrates a programmable PIC with a circuit prototyping area. Plug it into BitScope and you have a complete prototyping system, or design your own front-end electronics and use it to build a custom BitScope POD.

ProtoPOD will be available from February, 2001.
