GPIB to USB interface

Hello!

As time goes by, it seems harder and harder to interface our modern 
computers with Commodore machines and drives. Our PCs no longer come 
with RS-232 or Centronics ports, which were used in the past to connect 
to IEC and IEE-488 drives.

So yesterday I had a thought to utilize a GPIB to USB interface to 
connect our PET drives to a PC. Such interfaces are available from 
multiple vendors in about $150 price range, which may not be very cheap, 
but still quite affordable.

I don't know if anyone had gone this route before, and if so, with what 
results?

Regards,
Michau.
