I'm currently playing around with a Beiming GPIB adapter under linux-gpib.
I'm using the SVN version , and i haven't detected any problems yet...

I have 2 firmware types , an i2c eeprom image , and an uploadable 
firmware (like the real Agilent).

My tests haven't been extensive .. 
Some manual command entering via the linux-gpib test program , a bit of 
python via the linux-gpib bindings, and trying out gpib-utils on my HP 
34401a.

I haven't done any binary xfer's yet , but i know Beiming is working on 
testing that.

Beiming claims to have Visa compability under Windows, and aims for the 
same under linux.
