 The unit costs $85 with $25 shipping to anywhere outside of  Australia.
 These are Australian $ and a quick check online converts that to approx  
 93USD total.
 At the moment the exchange rate probably makes it an even better  buy from 
 the UK.
 The web site does seem a bit messy at first but easy enough  once you get 
 used to it.
 There's a separate side tab for orders which takes you into page 1 with a  
 link into page 2, the USB-GPIB unit is near the bottom of page 2.
 Some of their other stuff looks good too.

I have one talking to a 5370A 

The biggest problem, was getting over the shock of it taking only 5 days to 
arrive from Australia!

Has anybody in the group used a Softmark USB GPIB board to communicate
with the HP 5370B TI Counter. 

I am looking for a little help...

That's one distinct advantage of working at a university - our IP

having site licenses, so institutional papers are freely downloadable. 

I won't say that it makes up for the distinctly lower pay scale, but
there are other benefits too.

Hmmm
 
My biggest problem might be getting over the shock of how cheap it is  
compared to the HP equivalent and also compared to the 82350B PCI card I bought 
 
recently:-(
 
Oh well, let's see if another can arrive as fast:-)
 
I've just bought one anyway, has to be worth trying, but are there any  known 
problems or restrictions with these units?

Don't know about the softmark, but the Prologix works for me.
