); SAEximRunCond expanded to false Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RETRY I have 4 of the GPIB-RS-232 variety, two micro488 from IOTech and two Serial Controllers BlackBox (http://www.ko4bb.com/Test_Equipment/GPIB.html)
These are is still available from the vendors I believe, but at $600 or so list, it's discouraging. I got mine on eBay of course. While they are still being sold, the vendors provide no support other than sell you a new one if you have a problem. Apparently, these were designed a long time ago and the designers have long forgotten about those. Since very little off-the-shelf software exist for those, the only *advantage* of those over other units is precisely the RS-232 (only an advantage if you do not have USB). If you are going to write your own software, or use John Mile's software, you will be much better off with the Prologix USB controller. I have one of those too and it works fine. Abdul is aldo providing great support.

Or, does anyone have one of those old GPIB-RS232 units around. I will probably buy a GPIB/USB but would rather have an RS232.
