After reading one of the older posts I saw that I probly needed to update
the code in the source for the model box that I have from what I have in
gscanbus. I tried it and I am still getting the same error message. More
than likely I am making a stupid mistake so let me run it by here. The
output from gscanbus is:
GUID: 0x00169205A0D00000
Node Capabilities: 0x000083C0
Vendor ID: 0x00001692
Unit Spec ID: 0x00000989
Unit SW Version: 0x00000100
Model ID: 0x00000000
 Nr. Textual Leafes: 2
 And I changed the lines in sa3250ch.c referencing the vendor and model from
the following:
/* SA3250HD IDs */
#define SA3250HD_VENDOR_ID      0x000011e6
#define SA3250HD_MODEL_ID       0x00000be0
 To the following:
/* SA3250HD IDs */
#define SA3250HD_VENDOR_ID      0x00001692
#define SA3250HD_MODEL_ID       0x00000000
 Does anyone know of anything else I might need to modify? Thanks

Allan
