    Digital camera, eh?

    Well, as an addendum, after pushing several keys for a while out of 
frustration, it finally registered a "gap". So I went through the 
process of testing every key, and you can imagine my frustration when I 
finished and found every key was coded as 0x0. Here's the less 
vacuous-looking part of the config file:
bits            0
 eps            30
 aeps          100

 one             0     0
 zero            0     0
 pre_data_bits   32
 pre_data       0x800100A7
 gap          339993
 toggle_bit      0

Now what do I try?
