I wrote few weeks back driver for Advantech digital cards PCI173x/175x/
176x for one man. I don't know if this driver works, but maybe can
be good framework for improvements.
Well I'll look for my driver and send it to David, I hope that it
will still pass to CVS. :-)

You can too try contact direct Advantech. They have linux drivers for
their cards based on comedi, but I don't know if they want to publish
them. Their driver supports some from these functions.
