NI M-series DAQ cards

Hi All,

NI seem to be pushing their new "M-series" multifunction DAQ cards at the
moment... they're better spec'ed and are actually cheaper than their old
E-series (at least in the UK).

Are there plans to write comedi drivers for these cards relatively soon?
The model numbers all start 62XX. I vaguely recall someone writing to the
comedi list a couple of months back saying that NI didn't have the
appropriate documentation ready yet (that would allow someone to write a
driver), and that when they did it would appear on their website. Has
anyone managed to find this? Is there anyone actively working on a driver?
Do the old drivers work?

I'm asking becuase we're about to buy a couple of DAQs, and since they're
cheaper and better spec'ed than the amplicon ones we've been using
preiously I thought I'd better check what the driver situation was.

Maybe I should just approach NI for info, but I thought I'd better check
the list first to see if someone was already working on this.

Cheers!

   Steve.
