Hello again,

I've been trying to configure my PCI-NI-96 board using comedi 0.70.  After 
a little initial trouble with compilation, I'm happy to say that 
communication with my PCI board is going well with one exception.

After running comedi_config:

comedi_config /dev/comedi0 pci_nidio

(I omit the bus/slot numbers because it's unnecessary for the pci 
drivers).  comedi_config reports no errors, but board_info reports that 
commands are not supported for all 4 of my subdevices.  I assume that this 
has something to do with the configuration process, but I can't quite 
figure it out.

In another thread (see pci 6025E and 8255 
support,https://cvs.comedi.org/pipermail/comedi/2003-September/005019.html ), it was recommened
that one should edit the Makefile in comedi/drivers to enable the 8255 
chip such that the line:

DEFS= -DHAVE_CONFIG_H

is changed to

DEFS= -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DCONFIG_COMEDI_8255=1

I tried this and recompiled comedi, but there has been no change.

What am I missing?  Listed below is the output from board_info and lsmod:

Thanks,
Steph
