Where to find/buy logic analyzer test clips?

[M. Noone]

Hi - I'm working on putting together a logic analyzer like this one:
http://minila.sourceforge.net/ and I'm trying to figure out what to do
about test clips for the 32 channels. I'm quite fond of those that come
with HP/Agilent logic analyzers (they look alot like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250004199000)

Are there any reasonably priced sources for these things? I can't find
anything under a couple dollars at the distributors I checked with.
Also, I seemed to find alot more test clips that wires attach to,
unlike the typical logic analyzer test clip where you plug in a pin
into the back of the clip.

Thanks!

Possibly the E-Z Hook XKM series? Not < $2, though.

My advise: don't use test clips at all. They'll always get lose. I
usually solder a pin header with several wires onto the PCB. This is
much more convenient because you can still move the board around (make
modifications) and test again.
