OK. We occasionally get a query about 12-bit DOME card support and I had
incorrectly guessed that this was your problem.

I don't know what's causing the problem. The IDL code isn't dealing with
the greyscale aspect of this device quite correctly. I can't really tell
without having the card here in front of me. I wish I could get a hold of
one of these for a bit.
