Switching from ISA GPIB to PCI. Any Issues?

[JCliffen]

The original application was designed around the ISA version in VB 6.0. The next revision will be developed on a machine with the PCI card due to a lack of ISA slots.
Are there any changes between the two versions that may prevent the original software from operating properly?

Some of this would depend on how your program accesses the GPIB cards. If you are doing calls to GPIB.DLL, then you should have little problem. With some manufacturer's cards, you may have to switch your calls to GPIB32.DLL. The big thing here is: Try it.

Rob is correct. You will need to install the appropriate driver from, http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/versions.htm which changes the gpib*.dll. Hope this helps

[JCliffen]

So if the original driver was gpib-32.dll with the ISA card, there should be no problems with the PCI?
Thanks for the help,

If the OS hasn't changed then your code need not change.

What OS changes would cause code changes?
