Hi Everyone

I received great help in my post Query UNTERMINATED.

I had *IDN? working but I had another error, Query INTERRUPTED and I 
thought that instead of posting to the list again with the second error 
I would try to figure things out myself.

I had an Ines care installed while asking and receiving help but during 
the process I switched over to an NI PCI card.

I installed the NI card and *IDN? worked and then I foolishly changed 
large parts of my gpib.conf and at the same time I re-installed my Ines 
card.

I spent several hours screwing around with this until it dawned on me to 
put the NI card back in.

With almost no changes to gpib.conf, the Query UNTERMINATED error went 
away again.

I changed the name and board_type, that's it.

I still have Query INTERRUPTED errors right now and sometimes even Query 
UNTERMINATED errors but I am hacking a program I found on the internet 
and I don't fully understand it. The remaining problems are almost 
certainly on my end.

With the NI card, I can use ibtest and get the ID back without errors, I 
could get *RST to work with the Ines card but I never got *IDN? to work 
with it.

I purchased this Ines card new but almost 10 years ago. It has had 
almost no use, aside from this attempt, it had about 1 hour of use.

It was stored fairly well. It was lying around on a shelf with no doors 
but it was in a temperature controlled environment.

I am spread very thin and it takes me months/years to get anything done 
but is there some tests you would like me to run so that we can squash 
this bug ?
