I have a customer that would like to use Apollo workstations for instrument
control.  Does anyone have any experience with GPIB (IEEE 488) interfaces 
for Apollo? (2000/3000 series)  Does the National Instruments PC2A or PC3 
work? Are there any interfaces with real device drivers (open, close,
read, write, ioctl calls)? How is the performance (data transfer rates)? 
Do they support EOI, DMA transfers, interface locking, timeouts,
triggers (GET), secondary addressing, serial poll (SPOLL), etc?
Please email... I will summarize if enough interest
