AFAICT the other two attempts haven't made it to the list yet.

It seems to expect maxdata == 0xff, but looking at the driver source it
actually gets maxdata == 0xffff. The program doesn't actually abort, as
you can see, but it only outputs the lower half of each 16-bit word.

Looking at comedi_calibrate/cb64.c, it doesn't seem to have an entry for
pci-das6014 in its 'boards' array. You could try adding this line and
see how well it works:
{ "pci-das6014", STATUS_GUESS, setup_cb_pci_60xx },
I've no idea how well the above will work, if at all! I've never used
any of the PCI-DAS cards, so I'm just guessing. Frank or David may know
more.

You're not doing anything wrong.
