Uwe et al.
You are right, the small PXI-1002 Chassis I got was so awfully load
that I had to modify it with a new temperature regulated silent
ventilator. Now it is almost as silent as my nifty i-Mac which hums
so silently that I can barely tell its is on at all. I program my PXI
from an i-Mac and that's fun.
I am actually right now waiting for the LV 7.1 RT-Modules for MacOS-X
because I found some misbehavior with the RT-FIFO VIs. Has anybody
else had difficulties with RT-FIFOs under MacOS-X? That was with the
LV7 Modules and hopefully things will clear up with the LV7.1 ones.

Urs,
you wrote on June 11:
I personally prefer a real RT controller over a gray PC box. However this
of course could be a viable option too, a bit bulky maybe. Will the PharLap
OS control any DAQ boards in the PC box the same way it does it on a PXI
form factor chassis.
I had this opinion too when I had to decide what to buy as the base
for an industrial test system.
I took a PXI-1010 combo chassis and a MXI-3 data link to a PC.
Sounds good and has a good technical base, but is horribel to work
side-by-side. Not really like a starting chessna airplane, but
really disturbingly loud. It is designed to work in a rack housing.
And thats what might be the only possibel solution in the long run
(but can't be achieved in my case).
Anyway, a good PC (or Mac or whatever) is much more convinient to work aside.
AND, in my opinion, a modern (desktop) PC is even less bulky than
the PXI-1010.
Just my ¤ 0.02!
Greetings from Germany!
