Help! I think you're just plain out of luck. RS422 is a point-to-point serial signalling technique, whereas IEEE488 is a parallel bus, with all the extra complexity that implies. There is no solution that just needs rewiring; a non-trivial amount of circuitry is going to be needed. There must be serial interfaces for IEEE488 available commercially, but I suspect you won't like the price tags. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
