MicroScope... who's using? who's happy?

[Tim]

I actually haven't had the chance to use Microscope www.micro2000.com or P.H.D.PCI / Quicktech from Ultra-X www.uxd.com... however, I do strongly believe that any good technician should have some sort of hardware/software diagnostic tool in their toolkit... since I cannot afford either Microscope or Ultra-X's tools, I'm using Tufftest www.tufftest.com. However, like all the other good techies, I'm just using it to test ram and do low level formatting of the drives... it's not that powerful but it does work.

I have used both and have found that Troubleshooter was the more accurate tool for diagnosing problems.

I haven't used Microscope since it's 720k version (4.x?) and I had the version that hung up booting on anything faster than a 486-DX2-50MHz...

Can anyone provide a like to Troubleshooter?

i agree that you should be able to troubleshoot which hardware component is bad yourself, HOWEVER, in certain situations i think that it would be usefull. Like in a big shop with MANY pc's to work on it could save you some time.

I say save your money. I have only had limited experience with those diag cards but I never could find a use for em....especially at that cost....OUCH! <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">
