NI-488.2 Drivers Prior to 17.6 for win 98

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello everyone,

 

I need to use a USB NI GPIB interface (GBIP-USB-HS) on Windows 98 and therefore I need NI-488.2 drivers prior to 17.6 which is not available on NI webpage. Download page only has NI-488.2 versions 17.6 and later for Win 10 and later.

 

How can I download an earlier version if it's required for my application? They say reach out to NI Support but could anyone please tell me how to request for it?

 

Thanks a lot.

Can't guarantee what versions are and are not present, but poke around here:

I checked my old NI488.2 and the version that first supported GPIB-USB-HS was 2.4.
However, according to the Readme, 2.4 does not support Windows98.
Therefore, Windows2000 or later is required to use GPIB-USB-HS.
