Has anybody experience with this ? If you have a NEC7210 based GPIB card, I have a rudimentary userland driver for it. I use it for some HP boxes when I fiddle my timekeeping gadgets. I don't know about accessing floppies over GPIB (well, I _do_ know about the non-standard way Commodore did it but...) but if you can find the docs you can probably code it up pretty easily. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
