![]() ![]() ![]() The slightly more expensive option is the Agilent/Keysight 82357B USB adapter which usually goes for around $80. If you don't have a PCI slot then you can find PCI-E to PCI adapters for around $10 to $15 on ebay or aliexpress by searching for "PCI-E PCI 32bit adapter". I've seen these go for $50 on ebay including shipping. These are A cards despite the "Rev B" in their name. The cheapest way to get a working GPIB adapter might be to find a "HP 82350-66501 Rev B PCI Card". The biggest difference between the A and B models is that the A cards require loading a proprietary firmware (which someone has kindly hosted on github). The project maintaining drivers for various GPIB adapters appears at first glance to be outdated and unmaintained due to being hosted on sourceforge and labeling their latest version as working for "3.x.x and 2.6.x kernels" but don't worry: It is actively maintained and works for 5.8.x kernels. Even more unfortunate is that neither Ubuntu nor Debian appear to have packages for the kernel modules nor do any third-party apt repos appear to exist that are remotely up to date. Unfortunately the mainline Linux kernel does not have any GPIB support. There are other guides made by other people for a couple of other GPIB adapters here: This is a guide for getting the HP/Agilent 82350 A or B GPIB cards working on Linux. ![]()
