All, 

Going on the question a couple weeks ago, I'm curious about something. I have a 1992 that I bought a couple years back with the battery pack (which is obviously dead), and I'd like to replace it with the GPIB card. The manual indicates the firmware on the card must match the firmware for the counter, but I'm not sure what they're refering to specifically. Are they saying the "Rev. A" on the eeprom sticker (which is what mine is), or the whole code? I seem to see indications there's also a "Rev B" out in the wild. 

Anyone know what their counter and gpib eeproms are marked as? Or happen to have a spare card? =P There's a seller with 8 of them on eBay, but they're not the easiest seller I've ever dealt with (and also seem to be asking a premium for the cards ($50 + shipping)). 

Thanks!
