AT and PCMCIA GPIB Interfaces Not Supported with NI-488.2 Version 2.5 for Windows

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-488.2
Primary Software Version: 2.5
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I have been using an AT-GPIB/TNT (PnP) or PCMCIA interface in my applications using the NI-488.2 driver. Since upgrading to NI-488.2 version 2.5, my application has stopped working.

Solution:
NI-488.2 version 2.5 added support for Windows Vista and maintained support for the same operating systems supported by version 2.4. Since appropriate drivers already exist for the AT and PCMCIA NI-GPIB interfaces, there was little need to support these interfaces in the new driver. Specifically, the vast majority of computers with built-in AT (ISA) slots for the AT-GPIB/TNT (PnP) do not have the specifications required to run Windows Vista. If you have a system that runs Windows Vista and has a built in AT (ISA) slot, you can send a product suggestion from the Contact NI page. These suggestions are reviewed and will be used to find common issues that can be addressed.
