Aaron,

If you get any feedback on this I'd appreciate it if you could pass it on
to me. I looked at doing this a few years ago, but felt that a uP would not
be fast enough to do the bus stuff and all the other things I needed to do.
Maybe I was wrong,and someone on the list knows better. Nec do a gpib chip
set as do Texas instruments (search their website I don't have the details
here) For my project we finally used a GPIB to RS232 converter, as it
turned out that only very few customers needed GPIB.
