Anybody out there make any National Instruments GPIB cards (PCI or ISA) work with DJGPP? I need to get a simple communication going between such a board and several instruments. No big speed or latency requirements. Simple I/O is fine. No DMA or interrupts needed. I have messed with the older NI ESP488 libraries as well as the newer monster they call the GPIB NI-DDK. I have yet to get either of these to work. The DDK is so abstracted it is very hard to follow (for me at least). the ESP488 is straightforward withe the exception that it is for 16-bit DOS and uses DMA and interrupts. -Bob
