I have a Fluke RTD reader/scanner setup for temperature readings that is GPIB, and also a HP scanner and DMM that are HPIB/GPIB. I still need a programmable PSU for the die simulator; not sure if that will be GPIB or just analog. The PCMCIA adapters also interest me because I like the idea of using a cheapo notebook for data collection (less space, less noise, less power). The cards are in the $100 range though and of course you need a notebook then too... Since I have all the parts for a socketA rig except the mobo I figured it made the most sense.
