Sorry, hit send by accident.

I can't help really, openhantek was in the sid repository so I just
installed it with apt. I assume it is no longer maintained, as the
Debian package database claims never to have heard of it. Probably best
avoided then.

I haven't used it for a while, and it's not a problem as I need to
maintain a portable Windows machine for a number of reasons, of which
this scope was one. I have other niche hardware for which only Windows
will do. And no, I'm not going to try Wine, I've had a go with it in
the past, and it has always seemed rather flaky when dealing with
unusual peripherals and fairly high speeds. I assume that programmers
of the Windows drivers tend to cut corners.
