I think there are at least two generation of GPIB cards abandoned by Agilent/HP.
I.e. there IS NO drivers for modern operating systems.
There ARE always drivers for network cards regardless of the PC model.
The only project supporting most existing IEEE-488 (GPIB) cards is Linux GPIB.
But there is NO Agilent software for Linux.
Just for fun: Agilent Chemstation was developed for UNIX (HPUX) but due to love of HP management to M$ was totally abandoned
Just a side note: MIO card for 6890 sold by Agilent CAG group costs ~700USD
The same device under the name HP JetDirect card sold by HP Printing solutions
costs ~200USD
