Notes
2. NI-DAQ 6.9.3 or Earlier requires NT Service Pack 4 or greater. NI-DAQ 7.x (Traditional and mx) requires NT Service Pack 6 or greater.
3. For information on supported Linux distributions, visit /linux/support.htm#1 or see the driver readme file.
4. The host system must also support the version of NI-DAQ listed. NI-DAQmx for LabVIEW RT is only supported on Pharlap RT Systems with LabVIEW RT installed.

Support MAC software since 1986 but
virtually none of your hardware? Come on
NI!

Linux ENET Devices
Are any ENET devices going to be supported on
NI-DAQmx Linux.
It would seem that NI-DAQ Base wouldn't be
necessary any more. And existing devices
could be supported by upgrading the ENET caddy

When will NI-DAQmx be ported to Mac OS X?
Like many before me I also wonder how is it
possible DAQmx is available for Unix but
not for MacOSX. I'd also like to see it ported
too.

USB-9211 Drivers for Windows
It would be a real assett if the DRIVERS for
Windows were NOT buried in the bowels of the
programs. Sometimes a legacy device running
on an older system needs the drivers
re-installed, like after a Hard Drive crash,
and the original install disks are missing.
You want this so as NOT to crash any custom
software due to the latest and greatest
"features" added to the newest programs being
touted. Just the USB driver for the device!

linux drivers for 6251 and 6015
Would be good to have linux drivers. We have

6212 and 6216 under Base
Any good reason for excluding DAQmxBase support for
these 2 621X devices...??? Or more importantly, for not
providing full DAQmx on the Mac...?!
