On a better note, I was able to get the newer NI DDK to work at first blush on a newer PCI-GPIB card. I was pleasantly surprised as it only took me a day and a half even though I find the DDK itself quite overly complicated. Thanks for the pointer. -Bob Andris Pavenis wrote: > BobK wrote: >> Help! >> >> Anybody out there make any National Instruments GPIB cards (PCI or >> ISA) work with DJGPP?
