Someone across the lake sent a post the other day

Yes, I have a piece of software that I downloaded from the
Brain Boxes Web site:
http://www.brainboxes.com
which claims to do that. I haven't tried it yet.
I don't know if the Brain Box supplied software
only works
with their card or any card.
The card claims to be compatible with the IBM IEEE card,
and with the National Instruments card. But you have to
select this mode with a DIP-switch. It's possible that the
PET transfer software only works in one mode.
If the former, any of you British chaps want to part
with
such a card (these cards seem not to be available in the
colonies)?
I only have the one card, sorry. And I gained another
IEEE-488 device over the weekend, an HP 1980B oscilloscope
(with manuals).
