Does anyone still have the older DS software?

I am looking for a copy of the 2011 Driver Station software, since I ended up upgrading the Classmate PC...............................which also happened to have the ONLY remaining copy of the 2011 DS software. We are using TWO computers, both of which must be able to run the robot on-demand.

  • PC 1: Classmate E09 netbook, recently upgraded to Windows 7 using the somewhat faulty upgrade image. Still looking for the 2012 controls kit.
  • PC 2: Dell Latitude D620, using this to write and deploy Java robot code. The HDD is infinitely faster than on the other PC. Using Windows 2000. This is exactly why I need the older DS software. It's not on the 2011 software DVD.

Can someone send a link to the older software, as NI seems to have pulled all of the links.

Thanks

Is there a reason you need the older Driver Station? All previous hardware is compatable with this years image and driver station so you should be able to use the new stuff for any of your robots.

As I said before, the computer we are using to program the robot runs Windows 2000 (I have my reasons. Java, anyone?), and it would be non-trivial to upgrade back to Windows XP (or higher) since I lost the restoration DVD for a Dell Latitude D620. The Classmate PC does not even have the Driver Station yet. I am still looking for the LabVIEW flash drive, which MAY have been stolen by one of the teachers @ our school.

Anyway, what is the full version number string for the 2011 Driver Station? Still wanting to know.

Thanks
