Thanks for the hint.
I did some experimentation with
http://xoscope.sourceforge.net/ and the soundcard. But it had some severe limitations:
- limited voltage range, unless you add some voltage dividers and switches
- AC coupling, unless you know which capacitor to remove from the soundcard
- limited sampling frequency of usually 44kHz
So, I bought a

Some people complain, it's not a professional device. But for me, it does the job really well. Finally I could dispose my ancient CRT ocilloscope.
