Hi Josh,
I'm sorry I can't tell you too much of the computer because actually I don't know that much about it.
But let me try:
First of all it is an Industrial Computer:
- I assume with a Fujitsu Siemens Mainboard
- It has a SCSI Controller
- 2 PCI Slots
- 1 AGP Slot
- 3 Enhanced PCI Slots ( I don't know the name for sure, the Port looks a little bit like ISA but it isn't)
this three Slots filled with: - 2 1Gbit Lan Cards
- 1 special Purpouse Card for our Application
I plugged the GPIB Card in one of the PCI Slots, which one is of no interest, because I tried both and neither one worked.
The other PCI Slot is vacant.
The System is Running on WIN XP.
But as far as I assume the system Configuration can't be the problem, because in another Computer with exact the same configuration the Device works fine.
And if I excange the GPIB cards it has the same effect on both computers. Means in one computer both cards work and in the other none of the two Cards work.
So I'd say it is a system configuration problem... maybe ACPI or something else.

Hmmm, two things:
1) Can you get the exact make of the motherboard? I'd like to look into the interrupt routing specifics of it.
2) Can you check the version of the file C:\windows\system32\drivers\nipalk.sys? It should be v1.8 or above. Please post the exact nipalk.sys version.
We'll keep trying to figure it out!
