using NI and ComputerBoards controllers with the same program

[Stephen Dowling]

What's the best way to determine which GPIB controller
is installed in a PC? I'd like to have the software determine
at runtime which controller is installed and use the appropriate
DLL.
I have NI, ComputerBoards, and HP GPIB controller cards. Instead
of writing or changing programs to work with specific controllers,
it would be nice to have the software determine which is which.
I'm using VB5 as a programming language.

I recommend using VISA. NI and Agilent GPIB cards work with VISA libary.
But I don't know if the ComputerBoards brand supports VISA.
