Differences between NI PCMCIA GPIB cards

I have a PCMCIA-GPIB+ card , part # 182826B-01

 

Q1 - Is this a 16-bit interface?

 

Q2 - Are the newer PCMCIA NI cards 32 bit?

 

Since some of the expresscard adapters only support 32bit PCMCIA cards, these are important questions.

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

All of our PCMCIA GPIB cards are PC Card-16.

 

Here is a link to a site which explains the differences between PC Card-16 and CardBus cards: http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/h/0037.asp

 

And here is a link to a knowledgebase article with more informaion about the two types of PCMCIA cards: Knowledgebase 2DN9MOHR: What Is PCMCIA; What Is CardBus?

For all those wishing to use their 16 bit pcmcia gpib card in Express card slots, I have verified that the following vendor's card works beautifully without any new drivers.

 

Please search for  ExpressCard 34 to PCMCIA PC CardBus 16/32-bit Read-Writer Express2PCC.

Hi.  I would like to check on the type of window operating system  that the ExpressCard 34 to PCMCIA PC CardBus 16/32-bit Read-Writer Express2PCC from Synchrotech could work with?  

 

Does it need to work in Virtual XP Mode , say if my labtop system is using 64bit Windows 7 Professional?  

 

Regards

Notice that they say Several National Instrument DAQ Cards Have been tested and do NOT work.

Hello,

 

Thank you for posting on our forums.

 

This device is not a National Instruments product.  I recommend contacting the manufacturer for more information.
