NI guys, What's the deal? When are we going to get a driver or the info needed to develop a driver for the M series boards? You managed to get a Windows driver available prior to the M-series release. Put a guy on developing a basic linux driver!!! DO NOT MENTION THE E-SERIES BOARDS AS A SUBSTITUTION!!! I've heard that absurdity several times ["Buy a less capable board at a higher price. (Yeah, that's the ticket). We won't discontinue support for the old board anytime soon"] In contacting NI support several times since September, I've received the answers: (paraphrasing) 1) In September: "[RLP info will be available in a month or so]" 2) In December: "[linux support, if any, may be available by the end of 3rd quarter '05 3) Later in December: "[linux drivers and RLP info should be available around the end of 2nd quarter 05' Common!!!! Get 1 guy on it for a few days and get us a driver or the basic info needed to develop our own!!! We don't need a pretty programming manual, just get us the ^_at_#^$ data! I want the PCI NI-6259, but I'm not waiting another "couple of months". Sounds like a Microsoft marketing strategy to me. ---------------------------------------------------- Other List member's Since NI isn't likely to come through, what are other's using with capabilities similar to the NI-6259 (i.e., ~1 Ms throughput, 32+ analog input channels, 2-4 output channels, ...)???
