external GPIB-USB Controller with Windows2000

[Matthias Prot]

Is there a Chance to use the external GPIB controller GPIB-USB (NOT the
newer USB-A version) with Windows 2000 ?? The special GPIB driver for the
"A" revision is not working.

I am not sure if this will fix your problem, but I was able to get a USB GPIB controller to work in Win2K by replacing the file "NiVi488.dll" as described in the following NI support page:

Best of Luck,

thanks for the info, but the problem is, that this fix is for USB-A not
the older USB I have (maybe someone here could tell me the difference
between these controllers?)
