That is certainly possibly, since it is precisely what I use. It's an old 
printer cable where I adjusted the wiring to the GPIB connector. For the rest 
it's all done with parport bitbanging under linux using /dev/port. I vaguely 
recall that I had all the GPIB connectors except for 1, which was no problem 
for my needs.

Were I to DIY it again now, I would indeed look into using an arduino + 
ethernet shield for the task. Or maybe just buy it on ebay if it's cheap 
enough. Or maybe a DIY pcb with an ENC424J600 + fpga/microcontroller, so it all 
fits nicely into the connector.

Then again, something like this should be commodity enough not to have to waste 
too much DIY time on it.

Fred
