I don't know the specifics; I haven't had any IEEE controllers until
recently. (I have a SPARC 5 with an HPIB interface and now the 4041
and the PEP 301.)
NI cards appear on ebay but I've been reluctant to buy one because of
the hit or miss results reported by others.
There was discussion of this on the cbm-hackers list about this.

Yes, however, I
have heard various amounts of success in using a PC
with an NI GPIB controller talking to the CBM 8050. Apparently it
depends on the card/driver combination you use. Some will work and
some won't.
Any idea what's not working? It looks to me like the NI GPIB stuff is
MUCH more configurable than the HP or Tektronix.
