• Device Driver for PCMCIA GPIB interface We use a National Instruments PCMCIA GPIB card to interface with an HP spectrum analyzer under FreeBSD 2.2.2PAO. This tarball contains a GPIB driver for FreeBSD written by Fred Cawthorne (fcawth@delphi.umd.edu) that we modified to support PCMCIA cards. It also contains some code we used to make a signal strength survey over a football field.
