Hi Pavel,
Yes, you should be able to do that.
One of the devices I support is the XIA xMAP, which is a PXI digital x-ray spectroscopy card. It can be run either from an embedded Windows processor like you have, or from
a separate PC with a National Instruments PCI to PXI link adapter.

You would need to write the driver for your AI/AO cards, but National Instruments should give you a C/C++ callable library to do that.

Subject: [NI] PXI 1000 EPICS support ?
Dear all,
I have found an old NI PXI chassis in our lab with the following configuration:
Chassis: NI PXI 1000
Embedded controller: NI PXI-8106
Cards: NI MIO 6070E (AI/AO modules, 3 pcs)
The embedded controller is running Windows XP Professional National Instruments.
Is there any chance to save the device and run EPICS on it?
