Hello,
 
I can answer both of your questions.
1.  You can have both drivers installed at once.  Your device can be used interchangably with either driver.  As long as you are not trying to access the device with both drivers at the same time, there should not be any problem.
 
2.&nbsp; You are correct, the <a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/12919" target="_blank">PCI-6509</a>&nbsp;can certainly&nbsp;serve as a replacement for the PCI-DIO-96.
&nbsp;
I hope this helps!

Hello,
The typical current drive is 2.5 mA max; drawing more that&nbsp;this current can seriously damage your device.&nbsp; If you suspect that you were drawing more than this amount of current then it could certainly be causing problems.&nbsp; The 6509 has a much higher current drive (24 mA/channel)&nbsp;and so if you were on the border of the max current limit with the PCI-DIO-96 you should definitely be using the 6509 instead.
