We would! We tried using NIDAQbase and it was unusable due to the 3 second
start-up delay each time you wanted to take a measurement, and the fact
that it would not work on 64-bit machines. If there was a comedi driver
we'd start replacing our older A/Ds with NI versions. So long as there's
source code to tweak, and no prolonged journey via labview/kernel/random
abstraction layers that limits compatibility and upgradeability, that
would be just fine....

Cheers,

   Steve.
