Old VXI-PCI8012 (Win 95) work with Windows XP with new driver?

[KNrdstrm]

I have a VXI sytem with VXI-PCI8012 hardware and running Win 95 and Labwindowd/CVI 5.0. I am planning to my upgrade computer to Win XP Professional with the new computer running Labwindows/CVI 7.0. Are there any hardware difference between the NI VXI-PCI8012 and the VXI-PCI8015 (777119-02) ?, so that with a new sw driver NI-VXI 3.3.1 for XP wondering I could still use same hardware. Are there any other concerns about doing this?

The difference between the two kits, VXI-PCI8012 and VXI-PCI8015, is the version of the software driver which is included. So it is fine to use the hardware from your VXI-PCI8012 kit with Windows XP if you upgrade to the latest version of the NI-VXI driver (currently version 3.3.1) which supports Windows XP.

As a tip, remember to uninstall any previous NI-VXI driver using Add or Remove Programs before downloading and installing the latest version from our web site.
