If you haven't tried searching the Instrument Driver Network, you should try that.  Probably won't have drivers all the way back to LabVIEW 5 though.  Additionally, you might want to try posting to the Instrument Control forum page, here.  This message board is for driver development for NI hardware.

As Alan mentioned, there are a variety of instrument drivers available from the NI Instrument Driver Network for your instrument, but none of them will work with LabVIEW 5.0.  I researched the possibility of using IVI Drivers with LabVIEW 5.0, but it appears that LabVIEW 5.0 was released before the IVI specifications were approved, so current IVI drivers will not work properly with LabVIEW 5.0.

You can read about this in this thread.

I would recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of LabVIEW, version 8.0.  This will give you the flexibility of using any of the Plug & Play or CVI instrument drivers which are available on our website, as well as a wealth of new features which are not available in your current version of LabVIEW.

If there is plug and play drivers, I can still use it. I don't know when my company will upgrade the labVIEW to 8.0. So, I am now headach with this labVIEW 5.0 as all the information provided in the NI website are based on the latest version.
