Upgrading PCI-GPIB to PCIe-GPIB, software compatibility

Hi all,

 

I am trying to use some old software (C++ on linux) on a new computer to control devices via GPIB. The old system was using a PCI-GPIB card. Just like the person in this thread, this new computer only has PCIe slots, so I am considering purchasing a PCIe-GPIB card.

 

It seems like the PCIe-GPIB card should be compatible with Linux with the exact same drivers ("IEEE 488"). Could anyone confirm that this is the case? Is there anything I should/could look at to make sure? I would like to avoid having to buy PCI-PCIe adapters.

 

Thanks in advance
