That user's project also looks very interesting - My TDS684A's CRT seems to have died, and rather than fix it I could switch to using a software scope.
The upcoming V3 adapter reaches even more than 1 MByte/s with my fastest instruments. Unless you connect long GPIB cables to it, because capacitive load slows down GPIB as it self regulates speed down in the way GPIB is designed.
