Running DOS DAQ-700 application on win98

I have developed a DOS based app using a DAQ-700 PCMCIA card on a DOS laptop. It works fine. I now need to run it on a new PC (old one has died) running Win98. How can I do this? Have loaded Win98 drivers and OS finds the card OK, but App does not. Have tried to relink DAQ libraries, but they are for Win32 apps. DOS app uses Borland BGI graphics which are DOS only (not Win32). Any suggestions???

Hello;

The problem there is that you are probably using a version of NI-DAQ that doesn't support the DOS function calls that you have on your code. Furthermore, if you install the NI-DAQ version that supports your code, that probably won't support the OS.

Unfortunately, the only way to go about that is to rewrite the code to use the available function calls that the new NI-DAQ driver supports.
