Mark,

FYI, Brian is trying a different adapter than the one I had at the
fest.  There are no issues with the one you installed in the pak for
me, but the adapter model Brian has never worked even with plain
DriveWire, much less DroidWire.  To contrast, the adapter we used has
always worked fine with DriveWire without any special configuration or
anything.  Given that difference and the lack of dip switches on
Brian's adapter I'm pretty sure they are totally different animals.
