[time-nuts] NIB NI ISA GPIB Card - was - Re: HP82335 HPIB Card

[dave powis]

If anyone wants to make me an offer, I do have a genuine NI ISA GPIB card sitting in its box with the original documentation and driver disk (not very useful now unless you're running Win 98 or earlier I guess).  But from the thread, it would seem that there are WinXP drivers available for this card so it might be useful to someone who's running a machine with ISA slots.  I now have a PCI GPIB card (Measurement Computing) which works fine with John's excellent software, so won't be needing this one.

Not so. I just went through this. Even the older ISA NI GPIB cards will
work on XP with the right drivers.

It may take some looking on the NI site to find the drivers. I took the
easy way out and just called NI. They were very helpful.
