The two versions might be functionally equivalent, maybe it was just a redesign for cost reduction and/or some components of the design reaching end of production status. When I receive the PCI-GPIB+ I'll have to see if I can get it up and running with the analyzer software.

About the software: I bought a couple of that seller's cards; one each of 284088568161 & 284088570014. Asked him about the software. Here's his reply. Regarding your question about the Analyzer software, if I recall correctly it comes bundled in the "NI-488.2" software package. I believe the version in my screenshot in the eBay listing was v17.6 for Win7 SP1 x86, but it should still be fully supported in the newest v21.0 package for x86 or x64 systems. https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-488-2.html LabVIEW version compatibility matrix: https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/documentation/compatibility/17/ni-488-2-and-labview-version-compatibility.html All new to me. Now to hunt manuals for the cards.

Is that something that must be obtained and installed separately, or is it included as an optional component of the standard NI-488.2 download and installation? I suppose I could try downloading and installing the 1.19 GB current 21.0.0 version of the NI-488.2 software to take a look. The current 21.0.0 version of NI-VISA is another 1.11 GB download.

The NI GPIB-410 is also often available cheaply, it's basically the ISA version. I believe I saw the drivers for it on NI's FTP server when I was looking for the manual.
