Thanks in advance for any help. I have a system up and running that is based on Windows 95 and LV 5.1 executing on a 8156B controller. We recently decided to order a spare 8156B controller (4 years later!!). NI dug up an old 8156B in one of their test labs and agreed to sell it to us used (Thank You NI!). The controller arrived with NT 4.0 loaded on it.The path of least risk seemed to be the one that has us ghosting the image from the original 8156B controller and installing it on the spare controller or installing Windows 95 and LV 5.1 on to the spare controller. I've not had much experience with Norton Ghost. Waiting for them to get back to me. NI doesn't support Windows 95 installation any more. I have a NI PXI 1010 chassis, 1 NI PXI 8421 RS485 module, 1 NI PXI 6040E A to D and 4 SCXI 1104 signal conditioners. Would it be possible to run my LV 5.1 based application on W2K running LV 6.1. NI will support the installation of W2K on the 8156B controller.Again, thanks in advance for any help.john

Any experience installing Windows 95 on to a 8156B controller?

It shouldn't matter. MAX is a great configuration utility, but it is not absolutely necessary. If you can do all necessary configurations in Device Manager, then you should be good to go!
