AFAIK, there are no direct equivalents to the 9914.
There are other GPIB
interface chips (NEC 7210, Intel 8291/8292, Motorola 68488 (gosh, I wonder
how they thought of that number :-)), but they don't have the same pinout
or programming details.
The NEC7210 was discontinued several years ago; I had a
product which used them (a quad IEEE-488 board for VAXBI)
and it was the deathknell for that product.
I think National Instruments makes a pin-compatible
replacement for the 7210. It wasn't there in time to
save my product (which was just as well; it didn't
sell well enough to really pay for itself, although
I was informed that it did eventually pay for its
own development costs).
