[hpsdr] help locating old KISS versions

Dear all,
Somewhere in the mists of time, I likely introduced a bug in the processing
in KISS Konsole, that makes it not possible to work successfully with Ozy
v2.5-v2.8 (nWire protocol, right?) and Mercury v3.4 and Penelope/PennyLane
v1.8.  PowerSDR works just fine.

I've checked back to version KISS Konsole Unified 1.1.29.

I'm looking for older KISS versions, especially the USB version, just before
KISS Konsole Unified came out.  As an alternative, possible access to a full
clone of the HPSDR svn archive that contained KISS Konsole (especially the
K9TRV fork) would be great.

I am trying to help a ham, Ram VU3RDD, with his endeavors, and I find that
KISS Konsole is not adequate to the task, where it seems that it should be.
It all works thru Ozy v2.4 (last pre-nWire implementation version), with
Mercury v3.3 and Penelope v1.7.  also working it Ozy v2.1 with Mercury v3.1
and Penelope 1.6.  For some reason, my code will not 'just work' (after
accounting for new Ozy firmware versions and mercury/Penelope combinations)
with the nwire code.  I haven't found anything that I'm doing that's
version-dependent (yet.)

If you have any ideas, know of any changes required to PowerSDR so that this
could work   This would have happened roughly between May 2013 and August
2014.

Old versions of KISS Konsole that I'm interested in:
Version 1.0.0 (versions before  v1.1.0 were not 'unified'.  There were
separate USB and Metis/Ethernet versions.  I need the oldest code that I can
find that works on USB.  Or knowledge of what PowerSDR does differently to
configure the system for nWire operation.

73,
George K9TRV
