A client has asked us for advice on software/hardware for controlling
various instrument via a IEEE-488 interface. The customer would prefer
a multitasking operating system, and we're looking into the possibility
of using OS/2 for this purpose.

According to their latest catalogue, National Instruments can supply
an MCA IEEE-488 card with OS/2 drivers. Have anyone out there tried
using this hardware/software combination ? We would also appreciate
hearing about other possible ways of controlling an IEEE-488 adapter
under OS/2.
