Re: DAQCard (700)

Hi Jeffrey,

I tried to use a DAQCard 700 a little more than a year ago without much success.  There is an old DAQCard700 driver out there (v1.04 dating from September 1999) that originated from the Jim Henson Creature Shop (I kid you not...).  This version was tested with kernel 2.2.12 and pcmcia-cs 3.1.0.  I still have this somewhere and I could email you a tarball if you are interested in having a go at it.

cheers
