Can I install a PCI-GPIB and PCI-1405 IMAQ board in the same system?

I had a PCI-1405 IMAQ board working well in a Dell GX270 desktop PC.  I installed a PCI-GPIB and the PCI-1405 disappeared (MAX could not find it, nor could my app).  The PCI-GPIB worked fine.  I removed the PCI-GPIB and the PCI-1405 came back.  Is it possible to get these two working together?  I have not tried a USB-GPIB.  Would that work?  I'd rather not spend the $$ to find out it wont.  Thanks.

Have you tried swapping PCI slots to see if the order has anything to do with the behavior you are experiencing?

 

Also, what is your power supply rated at, as in how much power is getting to the PCI slots?

I have not tried anything.  I just wanted to make sure the two are SUPPOSED to be compatible.  I will try swapping their locations and check the power supply.  Thanks.

And another quick question. Is this one of OUR GPIB boards, or is it third-party?

Yes, it is a National model number PCI-GPIB.
