				National Instruments PCI? was created by BishopCNC15			
			
				Has anyone successfully used something like this with LinuxCNC?  With anything similar to this:
sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14132
This card has 2 analog out, 16 analog in, and 24 digital IO. I'm not sure what software NI has that will run on Linux.
Also, In general I'm looking for a replacement for a Mesa card since they're taking so long to ship. I was hoping this would do what I need. Extra analog inputs are good because I plan on attaching some sensors.
Thanks

				I don't think you'll find any drivers that work with Linuxcnc (at least not off the shelf) and there are no encoder counters.  Also it is a bit spendy compared to Mesa's stuff.  It looks pretty similar to some stuff sold by Adlink and Advantech (not much Linux support there either).

				You would need to write a HAL driver (which might not be difficult) but then all you would have would be an IO board. No hardware encoder counters, no stepgens, etc. It would have to be used like a parallel port with extra pins, and would have the same limitations.
