Is there some reason you want to access the 7210
directly rather than
using the Linux-GPIB library and driver?
http://linux-gpib.sourceforge.net/doc_html/index.html
I've successfully used that with several ISA, PCI, and PCMCIA cards,
including one that was 7210 based. My most recent use was to talk to
HP 9144 and 9145 cartridge tape drives.
Yo,
For a couple of reasons.
1.) I took a look at the Linux-GPIB project but could not get a good
build on my linux box. I probably could have dinked around with it and
eventually got a clean build but, didn't want to mess with the kernel
too much.
2.) I looked at the sources and was able to grep some information but,
not being a C++ person, really couldn't follow all of it.
3.) I feel the need to know EXACTLY how these things work. I know it's
reinventing the wheel but, isn't that what we all do in this forum ;-)
Eric - Somewhere I had a link to your 9144 project but can't find it.
Please send the link again.
See ya,
SteveRob
