There is a new version of the driver on freebsd.cdrom.com /pub/FreeBSD/incoming/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 ftp daemon 15391 Mar 1 19:04 gpibdriver0.2.5.tar.gz I guess you don't have to change the driver to the newer one, but someone should really change the above thing. The new driver works much better though. (You can do cat </dev/gpib5 and cat >/dev/gpib5 etc...) Before you could only do input through an ioctl. Also, the other driver didn't let you set the io address of the card in the config file. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
