NI PCMCIA-GPIB card and PowerBook G3?

[trimil@my-deja.com]

I need to set up a GPIB test system, and my options for a controller are
an old 386 machine with DOS(!), or a Powerbook G3.

Does anyone here have experience using NI's PC-Card GPIB interface in a
Powerbook G3? The Labview docs say it's supported, I just wonder if it is
fully supported. Thanks in advance for your help.

I jusk _knew_ I shouldn't have given that old HP-85 to charity...

Greg,

Have you used the PCMCIA/GPIB card with any other Mac programming
language? FutureBasic claims to support the NI drivers on NI's PCI and
NuBus cards.

Thanks,

If these other languages are using the drivers, then I really
don't think that they even know the difference. If they are
doing the I/O themselves, which I really doubt, then they
may not support it.
