NI ValueMotion PCI-7324 stepper card

Dear List,

I have been frantically looking for Linux drivers for the National
Instruments ValueMotion series of motion control (stepper) cards.
Specifically I have a PCI-7324.

NI have made it clear that they will only support the Windows DLL
drivers, and they seem to be desperate to rid the world of any
information that might allow me to control the card in any other way.
Well that's how I feel right now anyway, more likely they just don't
care either way.

Has anyone on the list had any experience with this series of cards? Any
information on driving them?

If I get enough information to start driving motors I will implement my
spectrometer application using QT under GNU/Linux, otherwise I will use
QT under Windows. So I need to make a decision shortly.

Thanks for the help!

Have fun,
Darren Freeman
