Getting old hardware running

Hi all, Thanks for this great project! I've just managed to get my new lab PC running with a HP82450A PCI card using Ubuntu 18.04 and the trunk code. Most of it works very nicely, I can access my RF generator and some other hardware perfectly. One device is proving stubborn though, my old HP853A spectrum analyzer. According to the manual this one should listen to a few commands to export the data but currently it isn't responding for me. In general there is no response from the device if it's the only one that's powered on and it prints "syntax err" on the screen if there is another device active and I'm communicating with that one. My guess is currently that it's being picky about the handshaking or something but I'm not so familiar with GPIB yet. As a second experiment I'd like to try to use the option to directly drive a plotter from the spectrum analyzer and see if I can get my PC to receive the data. Is this something I can do with linux-gpib? A first step would probably require met to get the card into a listening state and just dump the intercepted data to an output but I have no clue on how to get started here.
