[hpsdr] PowerSDR, A/J/O and 3-board SDR-1000

I am finally upgrading my SDR-1000 system to Atlas/Janus/Ozy. This is a
three-board SDR-1000 (no RFE, amp, tuner). I have been using a Flex USB
adaptor and an Extigy. The SDR-1000 was working fine in this configuration.
I tried loading the newest PowerSDR from the HPSDR svn, and it doesn't work
right. I seem to have some control over the radio (power on/off, MOX, and
something happens when I tune arond), but no RF signals are present, just
some spurs and a large center hump. I cannot even see a large signal from a
signal generator plugged right into the SDR-1000 antenna.
I seem to recall a message a while back that the newer versions of PowerSDR
no longer support the three-board SDR-1000. Is this correct? If so, what
is the latest PowerSDR that still supports this radio, and where can I get
it?
I have a copy of version 1.10.3, but it does not have the Ozy/Janus support
files, and won't run with A/J/O.
If I leave everything connected, except for the SDR1000 I/Q out to Janus IQ
Line In, and connect a SoftRock IQ out to that Janus port, I can demod
signals from the SoftRock. So, it appears that PowerSDR is not commanding
the SDR-1000 hardware properly.
Thanks for any pointers.
