FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Can PCMCIA and CardBus cards operate together?

Yes. NI documents mixed operation of 16-bit PCMCIA and 32-bit CardBus cards.

Does it support third-party CompactPCI controllers?

The installation guide permits this when the controller supports serialized interrupts and the PC Card uses them.

Which operating systems appear in the datasheet?

NI lists Windows 2000 and Windows XP. This does not establish support for newer operating systems.
