If you have all the required h/w including HP GPIB card & signal
analyzer.. & a PC with ISA slots.
The original HP 3048A s/w still works very reliably in windows XP on a
core2duo.
WIndows XP (onwards) enforced the direct h/w access rules.
To make this work you need a wrapper program to handle task access to
memory/IO-space.
This is not free but it does work.

Have also used this to successfully demonstrate legacy QB45 (HPIB libs)
s/w that used ISA GPIB (direct mem access), ISA PIO & serial port (i/o
space).
Biggest weakness with original 3048 is the slow signal analyzer.
