Are you 100% sure this is a problem on the 5370B ? I've spent a lot of time with my logic analyzer while implementing GPIB in FreeBSD (partly because I couldn't find a datasheet for the uPD7210 anywhere) and I have never seen my 5370B misbehave in any way. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
