Hi, all,
I inherited a never before used Beckman-Coulter System Gold HPLC and the computer containing the NI PCIe card. Although I do have all of the original packaging and parts to get the HPLC up and running, I seem to be missing an adapter to connect the NI PCIe-GPIB board to the serial System Gold input on the Beckman-Coulter solvent module. Any advice on where to find what I need?
Thanks much!

That's the dilemma. All of the parts, etc. were still in their original boxes (including packing lists). The GPIB card is clearly indicated on the packing list and came preinstalled in the PC that was provided with the HPLC, yet there is no way to connect the card to the System Gold solvent module (without some sort of adapter?).

If the PC has a serial port then you are all set. Just need to know whether the serial cable you need is straight-through or null modem.
If the PC does not have a serial port, then you'll need a USB to serial adapter.
