Re: NI SCXI Chassis + Modules

Hi Loren,

Brad Keryan of NI wrote some patches for comedi a few years ago that I am 
using (with some modifications) for SCXI modules.  An older patch is in 
comedi's patch directory for your perusal, though I doubt it cleanly applies 
to a more recent version.  

I can help you out with this as needed - feel free to mail me directly.
