Here is the seller I bought from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261397671097 The adapter works great and is authentic. --- End quote --- I bought from the same seller as the above link in 2013 (nettcy168). Definitely genuine Agilent, and new in factory sealed box. It was just what I needed to allow replacement of my defunct lab PC with an old ISA-slot GPIB card. I got a good deal with make offer and by accepting a slowing shipping method. Still paid a little more than the current price. This is a very good deal and is a much better option than a PCI card. Soon, old-school PCI slots will go the way of the ISA slot (see above). You can still get a modern motherboard with PCI slots, but you can also get them without. Soon, you will pay a premium to get one, then they will be gone. With USB you can just plug it into any computer you have in the lab. Despite Apple's efforts, USB isn't going anywhere any time soon. |

just fyi, some motherboards have issues with usb. the last rev (from 6mos ago) of the haswell intel chipset has shown some usb problems. specifically, many usb audio devices (that need timing-specific constraints) do not work, while they work on previous generations just fine (ivy bridge, etc). don't just assume that a usb port means your chipset will work. it SHOULD but you need to verify and be prepared to reject/return if the chipset is not working out. fwiw, it is a chipset issue as both linux and win7 show the same identical issue with my usb uac2 sound dongle. I had to use another older pc for my audio stuff even though I bought the haswell mobo just for this task ;( just be aware. until you see things work, don't just assume it will. things are complex and not every vendor really does their work properly (I'm looking at YOU, intel!!) |
