I have both a chinese clone 82357b and two NI GPIB-USB-HS. If you will write your own software for aging test-equipment, my experience is that a clean NI solution with GPIB-USB-HS and NI 488.2 is a *lot* less painful than trying to get Agilent GPIB to play nice with the NI software-stack. Speaking for myself I could never get it to work satisfactorily on Windows (never bothered to try another OS), just lots of weird unexplained problems; sometimes working, sometimes hanging, sometimes requiring the sacrifice of a chicken. Might be the chinese clone adapter, though, I never tried a genuine Agilent 82357. Come to think of it, the NI's came out of china as well, so might also be clones. Just way better clones. :)
