I added a rudimentary IEEE488 bus (GP-IB/HP-IB if you like) support in FreeBSD a couple of years ago. In the meantime, the price of USB-IEEE488 gadgets has fallen drastically, and I have switched to using such a gadget from http://store.prologix.biz. The prospect of the IEEE488 support ever being completed looks incredibly dim at this point in time. If nobody is using the code, I'd like to remove it before the 8.0 release.
