[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.
