    Hardware Description
    The MC-GPIB transforms any IBM PS/2 or compatible computer equipped
    with 16-bit Micro Channel slots into a full-functioned Talker/Listener/ Controller. The NAT4882 controller chip is fully compatible with the
    IEEE 488.2 standard. The Turbo488 performance-enhancing ASIC boosts
    GPIB read and write transfers to rates exceeding 1 Mbytes/s. You can use standard GPIB cables to connect the MC-GPIB board with up to 14
    instruments, or you can install multiple MC-GPIB boards in a single
    system.

    Idly trolling thru 422 communications, looked at GPIB. Max rate 1MB/s,
    or 8Mbit/s. Close to Evilnet...

    Would an NI GPIB adapter be able to communicate as a serial port to Win7
    using a USB to GPIB cable?
