Thanks, yes, I knew it was a clue for something, but I thought it was trying to tell me I had bungled the install step somehow. (I have a demonstrated capability to bungle any step of any procedure.) I understand now that I should tell modprobe the name das16 without any extension, but can you tell me more? If I pass to modprobe the string "das16", then it must be that some file (either das16.o or das16.ko?) should first be placed in some standard directory so modprobe is able to locate it. What is this convention in comedi? What files must be in which directories to enable modprobe to resolve the name das16 & connect it to a file? Thanks, Walt
