advantech pci-1760

hello,
i've got an advantech pci-1760 which I'm trying to access using
comedi-0.7.68 and comedilib-0.7.21. the driver and the lib compiled fine and
without errors, the driver can be loaded successfully and comedi_config is
able to assign it to a device file. but the card isnt working at all. its
not possible to get any of the relays working. I tried all the ways
comedilib offers to acomplish such task (comedi_data_write,
comedi_dio_write, comedi_dio_bitfield, comedi_do_insn (with INSN_WRITE) and
comedi_do_insn (with INSN_BITS)). Most of these call return without error
(except comedi_do_insn which is returning 1 which seems to be undocumented),
but all of them are writing the same message to the syslogd:

comedi0: adv_pci_dio: PCI-1760 mailbox request timeout!
comedi0: adv_pci_dio: PCI-1760 mailbox request timeout!
comedi0: adv_pci_dio: PCI-1760 mailbox request timeout!
comedi0: adv_pci_dio: PCI-1760 mailbox request timeout!
comedi0: adv_pci_dio: PCI-1760 mailbox request timeout!
comedi0: adv_pci_dio: PCI-1760 mailbox request timeout!

does anybody know what that means, and how to avoid it. Has anybody ever
heard of someone who got this card working with linux. and what do I have to
do to acomplish that myself.

thanx in advance.
