Dell Computer with E-Series Board Disables the Floppy Drive

Hardware: Legacy DAQ Devices>>Multifunction DAQ>>AT-MIO-16E-10

Problem: I have an AT-MIO-16E-10 board with NI-DAQ 5.0 and Windows NT 4.0 on a Dell Pentium Pro 200 computer with latest BIOS. The PnP BIOS was giving away resources already assigned to the floppy controller, disabling the floppy (A:) drive.

Solution: There is an executable on Dell's Web site that reconfigures the DOS ISA PNP utility to see the board without taking over the disk drive's resources. The version attached here should correct the problem, but is not guaranteed to be the most up-to-date version of Dell's fix.
