[sdiy] o-scope vs soundcard

[harry]

Hi Josh....

IMHO... having only AC coupling on an Oscilloscope renders it usless for most
everything. DC is the normal mode... and AC is only used when the situation
(identified first with DC mode) calls for.

Think of buying a used scope or trying to borrow one...
