update:
now I got the correct cable for my pci6250, I could verify this one
works ok with MAX, as well as my freshly ported cvi-app (using daqmx).
as mentioned, the pci-mio16e4 works correctly with MAX using traditional NI-DAQ as well as my 'old' cvi-apps,
but NOT with daqmx (no matter in MAX or cvi), I think this is clearly a bug in daqmx driver.
I think this should be reported to NI - is there some kind of bug-tracker like bugzilla ?
