Blackbox sells an RS-232 - IEEE488 adapter box. Search for IC026A-R2 on
www.blackbox.com.
It's not cheap, about $750.

I have an ISA GPIB card collecting dust on a shelf... I just don't have
a PC with an ISA slot... probably I should find one at a ham swap fest...
PCI GPIB cards are current, and so are *much* more expensive.
I know.... :-( I checked the NI prices and for such a card they want a
couple hundreds Euros or more...
I am wondering... I know of the existence of USB <=> RS232 adaptors. May
be someone sells also USB <=> GPIB converters ? Nobody knows ?
