Communicating with PC Based CArd on Register Level

[Larry the K]

I have an unsupported, simple, ISA Bus based PC card. I wish to communicate to this device within Labview, on a register basis (analogous to DOS inport(), outport() statements) without developing a driver. Does anyone have an idea of how this might be done? Thanks

There are InPort and OutPort commands in the Advanced section of the
functions palette. They will work with win95/98, but no other OS

There are apparently NT capable versions of the LV in port and out port functions available @ http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzoneweb.nsf/opendoc?openagent&2851D0A06E3185BC8625683A000AC730&cat=034E59A8530E09DF862568900018707A if you need them.

And the NI site has a library called accesshw.llb which can be used to do
the same things under NT-type os's (don't know about labVIEW under Win XP
though).

all the best
