I'm ok with dropping this one. For one thing it's a PCI driver that is presented as a
legacy device... Ugly...

I did a quick look on the web to try and find a register level manual for the hardware
this driver is "supposed" to work with. I found the Intelligent Instrumentation website
at http://www.instrument.com but could not locate anything for a PCI-20006 or
PCI-20341 board.

Your call.

Regards,
Hartley
