Charles Allen at Purdue (newton.physics.perdue.edu!cca) told me that
National Instruments (1-800-IEEE488) also make a qbus board- i called, it
is $1375 plus $550 for an Ultrix (version 3.x) driver.  They include
source for the driver.  In addition, they make a RS-232->HPIB converter
box which can address multiple HPIB devices, and handles input baud
rates up to 38.4K.  This is $595.

Al Michielsen at Syracuse University (sunrise.acs.syr.edu!amichiel)
says that there are some old (cheap) PDP-11 HPIB cards floating around,
but I've not been able to find them on the west coast.
