Run Win XP Natively on 5.1 Mac Pro?
Super Slots
Looking for advice from someone with a better memory than me about getting Win XP to run on 2010 5.1 Mac Pro:My choices using the Mac Pro:1. Load Win XP on 2010 Mac Pro with RX-560 Metal video card?2. Load Win XP on 2010 Mac Pro with original HD5770 video card (which I would have to find/get)?Potential Issues with RX-560 video card: A) Getting Win XP running without Boot Screen using the RX-560 video card. Too much trouble?B) No Win XP compatible drivers for RX-560. Will it run in a basic mode to do simple graphical plots, or not work at all?Let me explain why I'd like to get Win XP running on a 2010 Mac Pro.I have a need to run Window XP on a computer with a PCI slot to support a GPIB-like interface card (actually an Audio Precision APIB interface card). No newer version of Windows is supported by the application software with the interface card. I'd like to set it up on my 2010 Mac Pro to avoid having to find an old Win XP PC with PCI slots to do it.VMware Fusion or Parallels won't support general PCI cards with Win drivers (my understanding), so I need Windows XP to run natively on the 2010 Mac Pro 5.1, else this would be a breeze. (Assumption, the Win drivers will work on the Mac Pro running Win XP natively.)Long ago, I believe I had Win XP running natively on that Mac Pro before changing to Win 10. Searching the web it appears that Bootcamp did not support Win XP on the 2010 Mac Pro. But since one doesn't actually need Bootcamp I still got it running with its original HD 5770 video card. Since then I changed to a RX-560 Metal video card.

So any advice from someone with a better memory than I have about Win XP on old Mac Pro issues?
