I do not know if you are still trying to get the above working but I have
been unsuccessful in getting a 50 pin CDR UW and a LVD u160 HD to run on the
same chain. I checked last night to ensure that they are both operational
and they are. I am resorting to buying another lead on Saturday and keeping
them on separate channels.
