Re: current status of Addi-Data drivers?

Hi Sven !
I don't know current status of drivers for Addi-Data drivers, but
I have also a project with DAQ card and now almost made a decision
to bay PCI-AD16N-DAC2/ PB / DE / REF02(+/- 5V, 0-10V).
This is AD-DA card with 16bit input 12 bit output, 40kHz maximal rate 
for AD conversion.
I found a simple driver on produser's web-page in free access 
(http://www.kolter.de/down.htm).
It says that it works for 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels.
Look PCI-cards at http://www.kolter.de/neuep.htm.
NOTE: I have no yet any experience with these cards, just had chosen for 
myself.

Best regards,

Dmitry Minich.
