I wouldn't expect either of the existing 8255 card drivers to work "out of the box" with that card. Measurement Computing has published the register specs for the card, so it should be pretty easy to write a driver for it or modify the AX5214 or PCI8255 drivers.
Note that the Mesa Electronics 5I22 PCI FPGA card is about 2x the price, but has 3x the I/O, and also has an FPGA on it that can provide high speed PWM, quadrature encoder counters, plain I/O, etc. The FPGA cards have another advantage as well - a single access will read or write 24 I/Os at once. The 8255 needs 3 reads/writes, since it has 3 8-bit registers (so it won't allow quite as fast software step generation, for example). <http://www.mesanet.com> - click on the Parallel IO / Misc Io link on the left - Steve Paul Ritchie wrote: > Anyone know if the 82C55 driver in EMC can be used with the following > (or similar) low-cost card? > > http://www.measurementcomputing.com/cbicatalog/cbiproduct_new.asp?dept_id=224&pf_id=821&mscssid=5LA5N9DR9EDR8HQR46CQ7XPCSCD4DH75 > > Seems like a good alternative to parallel ports, which are slowly > becoming obsolete.
