Subject: IEEE488 (lack of) future in FreeBSD
Date: Wednesday, January 9, 2008 - 8:37 am

I added a rudimentary IEEE488 bus (GP-IB/HP-IB if you like) support
in FreeBSD a couple of years ago.

In the meantime, the price of USB-IEEE488 gadgets has fallen
drastically, and I have switched to using such a gadget from
http://store.prologix.biz.

The prospect of the IEEE488 support ever being completed looks
incredibly dim at this point in time.

If nobody is using the code, I'd like to remove it before the 8.0
release.

PS: If you have no idea what I'm talking about here you can just delete
this email, it will not affect you.  Trust me on this.
