Frank modified the 660x code from CVS a while ago.  I did some quick
tests already (see e.g.
<https://mail.comedi.org/pipermail/comedi/2007-February/008365.html>)
but I didn't have the time to dig deeper at that time.  Maybe (some
of) the issues are fixed now with Anders' patches and you can try the
example he used on the NI660x boards...

Klaas
