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.
