Bogus DMA conflict PC104/GPIB, NI488.2 v. 1.7, Win XP SP2

[barmaley]

I fixed the problem by disabling of the board's DMA completely.

thank you very much for your quick reply.

Have you disabled DMA only by removing the jumpers (except for irq of course) or have you configured something else ?

I removed the DMA jumpers and I still have the same problem

You also need to configure the driver to not use DMA. Unfortunately the NI's configuration wizard doesn't allow to do this or at least I wasn't able to find the right way. I've selected default configuration first and then configured the driver from Windows Device Manager by choosing a Resource settings that don't use DMA..

Lionel,

Are you using a PC104? I would recommend starting a new thread, most similar problems have differing details. Once you do that post the link here, and we can get started troubleshooting!

Borris, if you ever did get this working, any additional details would be helpful.

Richard,

Yes it works now. The steps are briefly described in the thread.
