We have a PDP11/23 running BSD 2.9 (using the rtp() hooks in the kernel) that
serves as the data collection host for a number of instruments. The lab
has a Tektronix 7912 transient digitizer that only converses via the
GPIB interface. Since we have a suite of data collection/analysis
programs in the unix environment, it would be useful to interface this
machine with the 11/23 (we do have the board). I also would be interested
in knowing the availability of a driver (preferably PD) for the DEC
Q-bus IEEE-488 board.

Thanks,
Joseph Warden
