Chris,

Are you using a DOS program, or a Windows 3.x program?  This changes
the method that you need to use to install the driver and which driver
you need.

If you are using a DOS-only application that is not Windows 3.x aware,
note the following paragraph on the link I gave you previously:
"Information about DOS GPIB applications
For DOS GPIB applications, you need to download the latest DOS
software for your GPIB hardware. Below is the list of the GPIB
Software for DOS that is in PKZIP format. Then to help you configure
your GPIB hardware and software, please refer to the Using Your
NI-488.2 Software for DOS or Windows 3 with Windows 98/95 Manual. This
manual also explains how to create a special DOS Shell from which you
can run DOS type GPIB applications."

It sounds as though you have the Win16 driver working properly right
now (since the Win16 interactive control can presumably do an "ibfind
gpib0" and not get EDVR), so I assume you have a DOS program.  If this
is the case, you need to focus on the directions for "DOS Only" in the
manual mentioned above.  Once you get IBIC working properly inside of
DOS, you should be all set.
