Re: [Linux-gpib-general] NI PCIIa: trouble running it

[frank m. h. <fm...@st...>]

You also have to set the board's irq and dma channel with the
switches/jumpers.  The PCII/IIa board also has a jumper or something to
switch it between PCII mode and PCIIa mode.  There is probably a manual
for it somewhere no national instrument's web site.
