Can I use 2 PCMCIA GPIB cards in a laptop?

I have written MET/CAL software on a desktop PC that requires 2 GPIB interfaces because of the way MET/CAL handles interrupts. Now I need to run this software using a laptop. When a second NI PCMCIA GPIB board is installed in the laptop the NI driver generates an error.

Hello,
What operating system (Windows...) you are using? What GPIB driver version do you have?

Hi,
I'm running Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 5. I'm not
sure what GPIB driver version is on the machine. The
machine is not in the country currently. An NI engineer
informed me that NT4 will not allow 2 PCMCIA GPIB cards
to be plugged in because it trys to assign the same resoures to both cards. Thanks!
