In the current sources (and I think they have been there a pretty long
time) there are the files /sys/i386/isa/gpib.c and
/sys/i386/isa/gpibreg.h. In gpib.c it says:
/*
 * GPIB driver for FreeBSD.
 * Version 0.1 (No interrupts, no DMA)
 * Supports National Instruments AT-GPIB and AT-GPIB/TNT boards. 
 * (AT-GPIB not tested, but it should work)
 * 
 * Written by Fred Cawthorne (fcawth@delphi.umd.edu)
