Re: Modbus
Any particular model of Modbus? ISA is supposedly fully supported under NT4 though.

Re: Modbus
er, pass does sa85 sound right?
i placed the modplus.sys file in the system 32 dir and added a device line to the config.nt.
I thought that the card would appear in the devices list in control panel.
i'm just unsure now about how to set the i/o address and the irq on he driver and on NT.

Re: Modbus
ISA cards usually require configuration (IRQ, ports, memory). The card will be configured by jumpers, or by supplied configuration software, then the manufacturer-supplied driver will need to be configured to match. You might also need to do some fiddling around in the BIOS. From memory, in NT, 'Windows diagnostics' will tell you what the driver is configured to use, but the card must be configured to match.

Re: Modbus
Thanks for the replys guys.
I'll have a look at the links although i think i have searched the entire internet... well it feels that way anyway.
A modbus card connects to little sensors and injectors over a mini "network".
Then tells the operator over some 3rd party software what state the injectors are in and stuff.
There is a com port version although i have been told this is very complicated and needs a rewrite of the 3rd party software..
