CAN'T FIND DRIVER FOR AT-FBUS NI-FBUS FOR WINDOWS 2000

Trying to load software for AT-FBUS for Windows 2000. The only drivers that I can find are PCMCIA-FBUS and PCMCIA-FBUS/2. Are these the drivers for my at machine??

AT-FBUS can work under Windows 2000 in NI-FBUS 2.3.5 or later version. You don't need to install the driver, the AT-FBUS driver "nifb.sys" will be installed to your system driver directory automatically.

AT-FBUS doens't support PnP feature of Windows 2000, so you need to start the driver from "non-Plug & Play" list instead of importing the "INF" file as PCMCIA-FBUS does.

You can refer to the attached "FF HW and NI-FBUS SW for Win2000/XP" Installation Guide document for details.

I have followed the instructions as stated by the installation guide. But when I go into the nonPnP device listing NIFB is not listed. I also tried starting the card from the command prompt by typing "net start nifb".

To no avail my card does not start. I have also checked the interrupt and memmory locations to make sure the resources are free. I'm running a Win2000 on a Dell Otiplex GX110. I also have Configurator 2.3.6.
I have verified the nifb.sys driver is in the windows/systems/drivers folder.
