Fred Cawthorne (sp?) has a new version of his driver. I can send it to you if you want. It contains a library for acccessing the device. Your other choice is linux-gpib. Look at http://www.llp.fu-berlin.de/. > P.S. please reply privately to me, I am not on this mailing list.. Thanks. `Group reply' takes care of that. BTW, freebsd-hardware would probably be a better list for a question like this. tg
