I would have guessed, especially these prices, that these would have USB 3.0 interface support, but they're both USB 2.0. OTOH, I suppose even USB2 is more than fast enough for HP-IB traffic?

There is not much market anymore for them. Most of the systems at Sandia where I work are ethernet based. I am about the only dinosaur I know using GPIB. You *can* get an ethernet to GPIB adapter. I have used it in two situations:
One: I had a GPIB based system at the end of a *long* cable run into an cyclotron.
The other is when I was troubleshooting a GPIB system from home. The internet delay was *almost* too much.
