Who made the card? I've seen HP-IB cards for the Mac and I've seen a
National Instruments card that had what appeared to be a HP-IB port but
when I checked with N.I. about the card they said that it was not NP_IB but
some kind a data acquision card.

I don't know about the MAC version but one of the Nikon 35mm slide
scanners uses a N.I. HP-IB card (model AT-GPIB) when connected to a PC.
That scanner is no longer sold but according to Nikon, it is THE highest
resolution scanner (2000 dpi IIRC) that Nikon ever made, at least for the PC.

but this is a heck of a guessing game compared to
I was checking
out some Mac IIfx machines today and they had
what appeared to be boards with a single IEEE-488 connector on them.
To the best of my knowledge, all the machines were used as graphics
workstations. I've never seen that interface on a Mac before
though...any ideas what it might have been used for?
I've seen at least one high end Kodak photo printer that used a 488
interface with a Mac, just firing up the mac and running something like
TattleTech that reads the
rom on the cards.
