Yes, this is something that has been plaguing me recently as well. It turns out that the problem lies within the 33.6 Sportsters having to do with error control/error correction. And, supposedly, one just needs to add in the correct command codes upon connection for it to work. I am awaiting a response from a friend of mine knowledgable in this area, will send you again after I find out. If you already know, pls let me know! Thanks alot!
