If you don't really need every threshold crossing lined up exactly and 
sampling at 24MHz works reliably with your USB, you can use the Logic up to 
about 10MHz for random signals, clocks even a bit higher.

IIRC from installing it on Win98SE, the USB on the Intronix is just a 
glorified serial port.  Again, it doesn't rely on the USB for its function 
like the Logic does, except for setting up and pulling the trace data out 
(and power of course).  The wire harness does connect to those microhook 
probes that have two pins coming out either side, but these come in 
different sizes and some have too thin or short pins and don't connect 
reliably.  I have a set that are slightly larger than the ones that come 
with the Logic, but most of the time I connect the Intronix to pin headers.

Can't help with that question...
