[vamsi539]

Hey ,

          We are using the PCMCIA-CAN/2 Series 2 CAN Card for our application.We are moving to Windows Vista very soon.I was not sure if I can use the same CAN card for the vista operating system?

          I've seen some post about PCMCIA DAQ not working on Vista? is it the same with CAN card too? Details of the CAN card below.

Hello Vamshi,

The NI-CAN 2.6 driver supports the PCMCI-CAN Series 2 under Vista x86.  Please note that the PCMCIA-CAN and PCMCIA-CAN/2 interfaces are not supported on the 64-bit version of Windows Vista.  This information is available in the readme file, located on the driver's download page.

Have a great week.

Hey Proulx,

                   Thanks for the information.Do we know yet if there will be newer versions of NI-CAN drivers to Support PCMCIA-CAN on the 64-bit version of Windows Vista? Will there be something that allows us to use the same PCMCIA-CAN cards ?

Thanks

Hello again Vamish,

Unfortunetely, we will not be supporting PCMCIA on Windows Vista 64 bit.  I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Have a great day.

Just to clarify, is the x86 version of Vista you refer to the 32-bit version?  Thank you,
