Len,

You're in luck.

Josh Stein ([email protected]) has done complete support for the 8732, 
including some really cool medm screens. Since he did the device support 
using the standard EPICS approach (gpibCommon), it works with any of the 
GPIB controllers supported by EPICS. This includes the IP488. Prior to
R3.13.1, the IP488 was supported under HIDEOS. Since R3.13.1, it is
supported via the Message Passing Facility.
