I run a real PCI-GPIB board after realizing the Prologix will never work with mainstream software. EZGPIB is sweet in that it lets you code for the Prologix or an NI GPIB card and it "just works". The problem is that I also use some very old labview code too and the Prologix just won't cut it. It sure is simple to get up and running though if you don't mind writing your own code or don't mind the limits. I recommend them too, but with caution for compatibility.
