Dale,
	Although I am not using a B008 card, I am currently writing a driver
for a PCI card under NT 4.0 and I can tell you that NT is very finicky
about software access to hardware devices.  NT will run WIN95 and WIN3.1
user-mode programs but does so very carefully (They all run on so called
virtual machines).  This is not true for kernel-mode software ie..
device drivers.  To access hardware, you MUST use a driver writen
specifically for NT 4.0.

good luck,
	dave
