AI Can't Read EEPROM, Help on 5.1 Upgrade

[PistolPete]

Hi:

I have had no shortage of problems "upgrading" from 5.0 to 5.1. Most of the
problems stem
from using an older board AT-MIO-16X. After spending the day, installing
LabVIEW
more times than I wish to remember, I think it is installed properly. The
board tests
out OK with the NI daq tests.

However, when I run a VI that worked fine under 5.0, LabVIEW gives the error
10200
that it can not read from the EEPROM. Any help would be appreciated,
because I
am somewhat desperate to the application up and running and I did not
believe that
the upgrading would be such a chore.

For those of you with older boards, be sure to read below BEFORE Installing

Product Name: LV-Win95

(Ver / Rev.): 5.1

Problem: When you install L
abVIEW 5.1 and select to install either "NI-DAQ
6.1.1" or "Neither" during the initial LabVIEW installation, you will get
neither the DAQ VIs in your Functions Subpalette nor the LabVIEW DAQ
examples.

Solution: Before you run the installer, copy from the LabVIEW 5.1 CD
"Drivers\DAQ\Cabs\*.inf" to C:\windows\nidaq\inf.
If you have already installed LabVIEW and attempted to install all
components of the DAQ drivers, do the step above and run the LabVIEW
installation again.

PS The tech support at LabVIEW is bad as the installation software.

This error will disappear if one goes through and replaces each AI VI in the
diagram with
a new copy of itself. There was something wrong with the translation for the
upgrade.
However, the AI VI's still do not appear to operate correctly.

I am just hoping the 5.1 was debugged with the older National Instrument
Boards, as well as
the newer E Series.

The problem stemmed from the windows device manager picking a bad
base address and interrupt settings. After viewing the dip settings on the
older board, I manually set the base address to 220, and the interrupts to
IRQ
5 and 6. The EEPROM message went away and 5.1 worked with the older board.
