[time-nuts] Timelab, GPIB-USB-B in a VM

[paul swed]

Pretty sure the GPIB-enets been unsupported for about 10 years.
I have one and liked it. But when NI didn't move it forward with the
operating systems it became a pain in the butt needing a windows 98 machine.
This talk of using VMs is interesting indeed. I have used both KVM and
VMware.
