I have an old legacy hardware system that uses a MCC PCI-DIO24 card to interface with computers.
I'm experimenting with upgrading to a USB-DIO24, and I purchased a USB-DIO24H
In the previous application, I just needed to run InstaCal to identify the PCI card as board 0, and the firmware of the old hardware took things from there. I set up the USB-DIO24H card under the same assumption, and InstaCal found it fine, but when I launch my legacy firmware, it successfully identifies Board 0 as part of its usual boot-up check, but then it gets stuck, and I'm not sure why.
Should I expect the PCI-DIO24 and USB-DIO24 cards to be interoperable? Alternatively, are DIO24 and DIO24H systems incompatible?
Is there some likely fix I can attempt?
I realize that my issue is very vague. I'm hoping that I'm missing something very obvious.
I'm somewhat hopeful that the swap should be achievable, as the pins being used on the PCI-DIO24 are all present on the USB-DIO24; it's only using the Port A and Port B connections, plus the 5v and GND pins.
