I very much doubt that the majority on this list have major govenmental or

As a result, I'd guess almost all the commercial test gear in the
posession of listers is from 1970 to 2000. That says GPIB and almost
nothing else. A very few instruments did use dedicated ISA, LSI-11, or
RS-232, but the numbers are tiny.
The fact is that with GPIB you can cobble up a system to almost anything
from simple to complex very quickly.
But over the next few years, I suspect you'll see more and more of it
coming onto the surplus market. My fond hope is that my daughter will
be able to capitalize on it.
