1. NI-488.2 and Microsoft Windows Desktop Operating System Compatibility Table
You should consider the compatibility of the application with which you intend to utilize the 488.2 drivers, not just the operating system. See the Related Links section for more information, and the 488.2 readme for compatibility information related to specific devices.
The assembly number is printed on the PCI-GPIB board. Both boards are supported in Windows and Linux Desktop systems. Only the PCI-GPIB/TNT4882C is supported with Mac Classic systems. However, you need to ensure the driver version is compatible with your new operating system. The PCI-GPIB boards use NI-VISA and NI-488.2.

NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS PCI GPIB DRIVER - This unit has been used. I have no way of testing it, but am confident that it works. With the VISAIC utility, you can speed up application development by learning how to automate measurements with your instruments, uncover GPIB problems, and avoid headaches by identifying malfunctioning instruments. The NI PCI-GPIB is a high-performance plug-and-play IEEE 488 interface for PCs and workstations with PCI expansion slots.
