Hi Malcolm,

Thanks for an update.
We would like to use a set of NI PCI-6143 A/D cards under Linux Fedora
Core 3 (2.6.x kernel) in a real-time data acquistion/processing
project we have just started.

Some questions:
1. Does the MHDDK kit support the S series NI PCI-6143 A/D cards, if
	not when will it ?
2. Is register map documentation available for this card so that we
	could implement a driver for it ?
3. Is there any plans to produce a Comedi interface layer to the MHDDK ?
	This would allow all the NI cards supported by the MHDDK to
	be supported under Linux using Comedi ?

Cheers

Terry
