Using National Instruments Hardware With Virtual PC

Please can anyone help?

I have some legacy software that runs on Windows 98 and uses a National
Instruments data acquisition card.

The card plugs into a PCMCIA slot and has appropriate drivers for Windows 98.

Does anyone know if this will work using Virtual PC?

Thanks.

There's no way to do that with VPC, it only emulates a certain set of
hardware and can't be expanded.

None of the virtualization solutions will work for this, you'll have
to run it on real hardware.

It won't, nor will it work with any other virtualisation software.

Virtual PC, VMWare / Virtual Box etc all emulate a specific set of hardware
which cannot be changed:
