     Uhh.  What kind of system are you using?
     National Instruments makes a 1014 (VME) to 488 (GPIB) board.  (We call it
"the 1014 board".)  We've got a variety of drivers for various systems, but
without knowing what kind of system you have, I can't say whether we have
drivers for it.
     There are two versions of the board, a DMA version and a Programmed I/O
version.
