NI-1200AI

Hello folks,
	I am trying to set up a NI-1200AI board, using the lab-pc driver,
and everything goes exactly according to plan (modprobe, comedi_config,
./info) until I try to run the actual board and get nothing.
	Analog inputs (comedi_data_read) always return 65535 (which inpn
converts to 155.037 Volts)  even though it's a 12-bit board.  Digital
inputs always return 1 regardless of how they are wired. Digital outputs
are always low.  The odd thing is, I get no error messages at any point
using inp, outp, or dio.
	I tried three identical cards and got the same results, so I don't
think it's a quirk with just one card.  On the other hand, all of these
cards seem to have been modified by hand (by NI) as there are several
jumpers on them - perhaps NI was trying to fix a mistake in their design?
	Any ideas, before I give up on this?  It seems to me that at the
very least, inp should give me a number between 0 an 4095 on the analog
inputs, right?
