ACDA Corp. also lists a GPIB card. It is a dedicated half-length card
that sells for $395 from the info I got from them. Supposedly also fits
some A1000 card-cages. Last I heard it didn't support DMA transfers.

I have no affiliation with ACDA, nor is this a recommendation, I just
got the info when looking at their other I/O products.
