Hi,
To control the 6503, you will still need to install NI-DAQ drivers.
The latest version (7.3) can be found here:

Once you've installed NI-DAQ, you'll find C code examples in \Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DAQmx ANSI C\Digital
I hope this helps you get started with your DIO.
