You have at least two alternatives to writing the drivers from the
ground up:
a) Call QNX and ask them for their third party product guide.
As I recall, there are at least two vendors with GPIB driver
offerings.
b) Call National Instruments in Austin TX (800) 433-3488 and
chat with them about their ESP-488 source code package. It
constitutes a minimal code set for eliciting basic bus
functionality. Cost ~ $300 US, and no (major) license hassles.
