  Well, National Instruments does make a few NuBus IEEE-488
cards...crack open one of the machines and see who made it. If memory
serves, though, they also made a card that *looks* like an IEEE
interface but isn't. I've never actually seen one of those, but I
have several of the real IEEE-488 NuBus boards.
