ADC100 and Linux
Have recently bought ADC100. Using Mandrake 10.1, installed software as per instructions, ran ./a100test, selected port 0, but just get o/p consisting of series of of 0's (chA) and 1's (chB) when using choice C (continuous reading), with voltage of around 1volt applied to BNC channel A. System is dual boot and all works fine under Win98. lsmod shows up parport module ok. Any suggestions?

more details
Hope someone can help. Applying a dc voltage to chA in steps of 0.05V and reading the ADC100 with the program listed below gives strange results. At 0.5V applied, the ADC output value printed by the progarm is 2047 and this value does not alter until the applied voltage reaches 0.7V, at which point the ADC output value printed becomes 1790. Any help much appreciated.
