Hi,NI has removed all the vintage driver from the their homepage. I can't find any link for downloading Windows 98SE drivers for NI GPIB ISA cards in the net. Any hints where I can find this driver package?Thanks...

What is the cards part number and I will check to see.
This thread is a reminder to hug your standardized VXI11 ethernet<->gpib adapter today if you haven't already.No drivers = best drivers.
Thank you Joe. Meanwhile a forum member helped me to get the driver package. And I learned my lesson (again): Save every Software you have downloaded in your own archive, even when the company offered all their released software on their site since decades without any restrictions. Never trust that this will last for ever!

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
but I have a ISA PCII/IIA GPIB interface from National Instruments as well...From what I understand Windows ME is the latest os that can be used, is this correct?Can you please send the drivers to me, too?
