Is there a Windows 7 64 bit driver that will work with the 183617G-01 card?

Our IT department is about to change out our old XP computers with new Win7 machines. Question is if there is a Win7 compatible driver for these cards so I don't have to go out and buy 6 new IEEE488 cards.

How hard could it be?

Is that the PCI-GPIB card?

 

If so it looks like NI-488.2 release 2.8.1 has support under Win7 32 and 64 bit OS's.

Can someone at NI verify this just in case I am in error.

Yes 'Analog' that is the old IEEE-488 GPIB card. These cards predate me here and am worried there will be no Win7 driver for them once IT brings down the new machines.

Yes, that is an older PCI-GPIB. It should work fine with the latest drivers.
