Compatibility between NI PCMCIA-GPIB and Toshiba Tecra 8100

The Tecra 8100 fails the NI PCMCIA-GPIB startup test for sequential interfaces. Error indicators are that nipxi gets an I/O error on boot. Everything looks good in the Device Driver for the PCMCIA-GPIB board(no conflicts). Running a verified good program the reads & writes to a HP4408B Spectrum analyzer produces read errors for approximately 2/3 of all reads.

When I switched to a Dell Inspiration 2500 laptop, everything works correctly.

Has anyone else had problems with the Toshiba Tecra 8100 working correctly with PCMCIA boards? This isn't the first PCMCIA problem that I have had with this machine. Is there a fix?

Hope you have the latest GPIB driver available from http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/versions.htm. If you don't, follow the steps from www.ni.com/support/install
