For the record: If anyone wants labpc tested and kept up to date send
me a card and I'll test it at each stable release cycle.  Even better,
also send me the register compatible DAQCARD 1200 PC card version.

My former client using a batch of those cards obviously
isn't staying up to date on the OS.  Anyone who upgrades a working
system will be just as upset if it doesn't work as if it is gone
so I defer on the axe discussion.
