I think the hardware is similar to 6115 (they share = some NI <br>> manuals), but 6115 is not supported either. There is a comment= in <br>> comedi's ni_pcimio driver code that reads "The 6115 b= oards probably <br>> need <br>> their own driver" so I don't think ni_pcimio.c (and n= i_mio_common.c) <br>> could be easily modified to support these cards. It probably r= eally <br>> does need a new driver to support the 6115 and 6120 cards. <br>>=20 <br>> --=20 <br>> -=3D( Ian Abbott <<a href data-email-masked rel=3D"nofollow= ">[email protected]</a>> || MEV Ltd. is a company )=3D- <br>> -=3D( registered in England & Wales.
