Can i access ISA-Cards with the MH-DDK

ok the basic problemis the following (i posted that already & thx to todd..)
i want to access the 8253 timer on a (ISA) PC-DIO-96 card, which is not possible from NIDAQ.
now i want to write my own device driver (i dont actually want, but i guess theres no other way)
the MH-DDK is, afaik, based on VISA, which afaik is supposed to work with PCI/PXI cards.
now - how do i access non-PCI (ISA) cards with the DDK?

thx

Greetings,

It is not possible to use the Measurement Hardware DDK with your PC-DIO-96. You will need to use traditional register-level programming. The user manual for your board has a section that describes this process. I have included links to these manuals below (I was not sure if your PC-DIO-96 is PnP or not).

Good luck with your application.

My apologies for this late reaction, but if you have an ISA card (in my case, a Lab-PC-1200), and are running on Win2000 and NIDAQ isn't sufficient enough, you still have to write your own driver. So, what can I use in stead of the ddk? Or where can I find information about writing your own driver for an ISA card?
(I used assembler RLP in win98, but now we are changing over to win2000)

thanx in advance......
