On that front, I've got a couple of older 8-bit
IEEE cards that I would
love to find out information on...
They're National Instruments cards (over 10 years old!), p/n 180212-01,
with a 5-position DIP switch (U17), an IRQ jumper area (I2-I7), a DMA
jumper area (A/R 1-3), a non-installed optional battery and (I think clock
chip) 58167. The main IEEE chips are an NEC D7210C and NS DS75162AN
driver.
I've got about 5k pages of NI docs, but nothing on that part. The
closest I could find is the GPIB-PCII(A), part numbers 180100-02 and
180210-0[12]. Your part seems to be a later revision of the PCIIA.
The DIP switch selects the I/O base address and IRQ.
I've scanned in the install docs in TIFF compressed format and put
them at <http://tam.cornell.edu/~bsa3/gpib-docs.tar.gz>.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any of the driver disks other than
for OS/2. If I find the DOS version, I'll let you know. The card
should be supported by the Linux GPIB subsystem without any problems.
