Notes:

As of spec release 5.05.02-5, the older PCII and PCIIA GPIB cards have direct support built into spec on Linux systems. Previously, these cards were only supported by the now deprecated GPIB driver available by anonymous ftp from ftp.llp.fu-berlin.de. The new Linux Source Forge GPIB driver supports these and many GPIB cards.

As of spec release 5.07.02-6, built-in support for the AT-GPIB and PCI-GPIB cards is included. As of release 5.07.02-4, support for GPIB-ENET/10, GPIB-ENET/100 is included No additional drivers or vendor libraries are required. For older spec releases and 2.4 or earlier Linux kernels, GPIB drivers for the AT, PCI and ENET cards are available from National Instruments at ftp.ni.com. However, the newer version 2 drivers (needed for 2.6 Linux kernels) are not supported by spec. Use the Source Forge driver instead.
