<div dir="ltr">Hi Shane,<div><br></div><div>The NCSN is successfully using the Thunderbolt-NI combo (but possibly different hardware) on a Windows 7 platform. I've cc'ed Phil and Will, who are the experts. Phil is mostly out for the next two weeks, and Will has a lot on his plate at the moment, but hopefully they can assist.</div>
