Correction:  The original part was GT64010.  I was working as a consultant
for a short term assignment, so the part numbers are not at the tip of my
tongue.

One other note: Endian-ness has been discussed on this forum before.  Most
posters were against any endian swapping in the hardware.  My personal
position is that endian swapping in the I/O device is OK, if it is well
thought out.  I agree with others that it should not be done in a device
like the GT64120.
