   Sadly, no.  About 25 years ago, it was possible to pick up a Biomation logic   
   analyzer for a relatively good price (around USD1000), those days are long   
   gone, and finding a Biomation AT ALL these days requires arduous searching.    
   One might get lucky with    
   a herd of 4-channel digital scopes that have external triggers that actually   
   work properly (many don't), but you would need a lot of luck.  Your best bet   
   is likely to find/make a friend with someone in the technical services   
   department of a well-equipped    
   university, you might be able to come into a lab and use one of their logic   
   analyzers with some kind words and a bit of handwaving.  I don't know of any   
   makerspaces with logic analyzers, but maybe they exist -- or maybe one of the   
   makers in the community    
   knows of a way to get access to a logic analyzer at their day job.
