For driver, best is windriver, take a look at jungo software, I think it have a free demo to use with PCI.

I have used a development board from Insight electronics. Is called SPartan II-PCI or sthg so. It is about 2000$ and you have reference designs including some sw applications. If your application is similar to the reference design you may use their driver, if not, I used WinDriver as recommends "penrico" and it is quite easy and they provide you an user interface that helps you to debug your hardware.
