Hi all,

Have been lurking on this group awhile and wonder if anyone has come
across HP-IB drivers for any interface cards in AT format that work
under linux - or must I use wine... ?

ie. I have some equipment and especially an AC Source Analyser that
I want to connect to a PC (About to get linux), though I will have a
steep learning curve to get some of my MSDOS cad programs to run
on a dos emulator (vga card specific etc) I am looking forward to
using linux as the base machine for instrumentation data gathering,
correlation and control.

HP-IB is the Hewlett Packard Instrumentation Bus sometimes called
GP-IB and is now an IEEE standard 488 I think ?


Suggestions/Observations/Comments ?


Rgds

Mike
