Will NI-488.2 for Mac OS 10.5.X for PowerPC be forthcoming soon?

Solved!
Go to solution
After purchasing a NI PCI-GPIB for Mac I tried to install NI-488.2 version 2.5.5 on a Macintosh G5 Power PC that was running OS 10.5.6. That was when I was informed that NI-488.2 cannot be installed on a Power Mac running greater than OS 10.4. Currently I'm running a PCI-6221 DAQ in a neighboring slot to the GPIB and it operates fine under OS 10.5.6. Will there be an upgrade of NI-488.2 to OS 10.5 coming soon or do I have to reinstall an older version of Mac OS X on the G5?

Thanks Peter. I downloaded the Beta version of NI-488.2-2.5.6 and I had no problem installing on my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.6.

I appreciate the quick helpful response to my query.

Thanks again.
