pcii gpib card with windows2000?

I realize that pcii/pciia gpib cards are not supported by Windows 2000, but please let me know if there are any ways to make them compatible. After finding a PC with an ISA slot to use with my pcii  card and upgrading to Win2000 so that  we can use Labview 7.1 in our teaching labs, I'm very disappointed to find that the system may not work.

Thanks for your help,

John

Hello John,

I am sorry to say that there is no way to use one of our ISA GPIB cards under Windows 2000.  The drivers for these cards were written back when Windows was 16 bit, not 32 like the current versions (including 2000).  Have you considered some of our newer, GPIB products, such as a PCI or USB GPIB device?  These will work under Windows 2000 and with LabVIEW 7.1 without a problem.
