Did you notice the message in this email list about an Arduino based GPIB interface? The advantage is the cost which could be under $10 and that many of us already have the parts. The disadvantage is you have to assemble it yourself and it works for only one instrument on the bus at a time.
If you Goole "arduino gpib" you get LOTS of hits. It seems this idea was re-invented about 100 times.
