Sorry - I've forgotten which HDSP you are using. Is this the HDSP 9652
or one of the external units? If it's the external one then possibly
it's a firmware loading issue. If it's an HDSP 9652 then possibly it's
a firmware revision issue.

Clearly we are getting different results. I'm on FC2. For whatever
reason there just seem to be a lot of problems with FC3.
