Yes, Heathkit made a Model 4850 Digital Memory Oscilloscope using dos software, which is no longer unavailable. I have an original copy of the Heathkit (rip) supplied software, now making it available here! I bought and built one of their Digital Oscilloscopes (still have it along with one I picked up used). Works pretty well for what it is and I've listed some of the specs below.
A few people have contacted me regarding this description page. Gary Appel wrote a releasable version of the Windows software for the heath 4850 'scope. These three (floppy disk zip packages) files represent three 1.44MB Installation Disks. "I have now included the help file, and a .pdf manual. I'd appreciate it if you could try it out, and let me know if it installs okay on your system. I can't always tell, because some of the DLL files I need are already on my system."
A huge thank you to Gary for his work and kind offer to provide this software free to the public. Please do not sell the files available here. This is the Description Page for the (supplied by Heathkit) original Hscope.zip file and Gary's Windows 98 (3 disk) zip Software, which can be downloaded from the main www. radiowrench.com/sonic page as hdisk1.zip, hdisk2.zip & hdisk3.zip. Gary mentions that his contact information is in the package. Have fun with your Heathkit Digital Scope!
The Heath Digital Memory Oscilloscope (DMO), Model 4850, is a versatile accessory for an oscilloscope or a PC-compatible computer. The CMO can upgrade a low-frequency bandwidth oscilloscope to one that has a 50 MHz bandwidth on repetitive signals, and can also add waveform storage capatilities.
When you connect the DMO to a computer via the RS-232 connector, the supplied software provides you with full control of the CMO functions from the computer keyboard, waveforms displayed on the computer's screen. The computer software also provides you with the added capabilities for disk storage; averaging; and cursor measurement of voltage, time, and frequency. User-written software can be used to customize the DMO for specific applications such as automated testing.
The DMO is a sampling oscilloscope; it periodically samples analog input signals, converts them into digital code, and then stores them in its memory. When these coded signals are later retrieved, they are displayed as waveforms on the oscilloscope of on the computer's CRT. The DMO smaples repetitive signals from 0.4s/sample to 200ps/sample and norepetitive signals from 0.4 s/sample to 10us/sample.
Some of the features when you use the DMO with a normal oscilloscope include:
Some of the outstanding features when you use the DMO with a computer include:
This DMO is a laboratory-grade test instrument that is ideal for a wide range of measurements used in clectronic development, education, production lines, and scientific research.
Enjoy!

We/I get a lot of Email from visitors who drop into these file down load description pages
via a web search "engine" (like Google). Vistors are not able to locate the file download
icon for that specific description page. There is a simple way to find the file download
icons on the main http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic sonic
web page...
First and best: Use the menu icon just below to the main sonic page.
Second: Back space out the page your now looking at in your browser location line. As an example,
using the http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic/so2004.html description page. Remove the last portion
of the web location with the keyboard back space key to read http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic
then press your Enter Key to reload the main sonic page "just in front" which would probably
has the information you're looking for. This works on most of the current browsers at most web
sites.
Third: You can always contact me using the Email Icon below. I'll try to get a back to you
asap with a practical answer.
