PCI-GPIB under WIN98 DOS

I have installed a PCI-GPIB board in a Dell computer. I can communcite withmy CDS rack from the DOS version of the "Interactive Control", IBIC. In my qb4.5 DOS program, I can find GPIB0 without any errors. However, the data returned in the second parameter for ibfind does not appear to be correct. When I try to clear the RQS, I get a 10 second timeout. It appears that I can not communicate with my devices. NI-488.2 for DOS is enabled. Thanks for any help you can give me.

By saying that you are using the DOS version of "Interactive Control", do you mean that you are working in the DOS operating system? The PCI-GPIB board cannot be used in the DOS operating system. Enabling DOS Support allows you to run DOS programs in the Windows MSDOS prompt. If you need to work in the DOS operating system, you can use the AT-GPIB/TNT board with driver version 2.7.2.

Very timely help. Unfortunatly, I should have said that I am running DOS from a WIN98 DOS Window.
