Yes, the config file has moved!
After editing the config file to the below, the ready LED is lit Green and it appears we're ready to go!

However, running Ibtest and trying to write a string, throws up this error:
Do you wish to open a (d)evice or an interface (b)oard?
(you probably want to open a device): d
enter primary gpib address for device you wish to open [0-30]: 0
trying to open pad = 0 on /dev/gpib0 ...
You can:
w(a)it for an event
write (c)ommand bytes to bus (system controller only)
send (d)evice clear (device only)
change remote (e)nable line (system controller only)
(g)o to standby (release ATN line, system controller only)
send (i)nterface clear (system controller only)
ta(k)e control (assert ATN line, system controller only)
get bus (l)ine status (board only)
go to local (m)ode
change end (o)f transmission configuration
(q)uit
(r)ead string
perform (s)erial poll (device only)
change (t)imeout on io operations
request ser(v)ice (board only)
(w)rite data string
send group e(x)ecute trigger (device only)
: w
enter a string to send to your device: *IDN?
sending string: *IDN?
gpib status is:

iberr= 6
EABO 6: Operation aborted

As always, thank you all for the help!
