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.
