Re: comedi_config fails with DAS1602/16

This might sound like a base address problem.

Be carefull with the switch diagram for the base address in the Keithley 
manual: the black squares are the switch locations, not the white squares.

You can have a look in the mailing-list archive of March 2002 there are 
discussions about the configuration of the das-1602 with das16 driver. 
Maybe it can could help you.
