Hi Claus,

I also have the PcII/IIa. This card has been absolutely stable for me 
this far, but it isn't very fast and straighforward for SFD1001 support. 
My software can read single and double sided disks into images. I can 
send you this software if you like to test it.

So far it works for me only with the Windows driver active, on a Win98 
machine. My software is written for DOS and uses the DOS compatibility 
layer of the driver. For some reason, I couldn't get it running with 
older NI GPIB cards which only have the DOS driver.
