Ahh, that's probably at the core of the problem with your other 
interfaces: Seems like there's some clocking issue between the different 
implementations. I've googled a bit, and found similar comments, 
mentioning different TDIF versions, where the difference is the clocking 
bit...

BTW: You might get away using a standard old BNC Ethernet cable for the 
word clock connection. The impedance isn't quite right (50Ohm vs. 75 
Ohm), but you can often get away with it...

At least that's good news.
