I was hacking and slashing to get things going, I suspect some timing 
issues.  Was using a combination of old and new stuff.

Just starting now on re-doing it all, but this time linking to the lib 
instead of hacking a few cut and pastes.

Kind of having fun here this morning, turns out just about everything in 
our astronomy gear is an fx2 + some sort of ccd/cmos sensor.  The 3 
based on mtm9001 + fx2 came with brain dead drivers that only allow 
access to 8 bits of the a/d data, but the sensor will do 10.  I know on 
at least 2 of them, all 10 bits are indeed hooked up, so, I'm expecting 
I can get full 10 bit data out of them.  That makes a huge difference 
when we are doing long exposures on very dim things.

Then much to my surprise, another one I have is an fx2 + sony ccd with 
16 bit a/d.  This one has always been a beast, because it has no drivers 
that are a 'standard' of any type, and only works with the software that 
came with it.  That wouldn't be to bad, cept, the software that came 
with it doesn't run very well, a prime example of .net driven bloatware 
thats so full of eye candy, they forgot to focus in on the basic function.

I can see that over the next few weeks, I'm going to spend a fair amount 
of time with datasheets, and poking these things till they work the way 
_I_ want them to work....
