At the time the instrument was first released by X-Rite, they had two
variants: one for OEM systems (which they called the "DTP22") and the other
for unbundled sale (which they called the "Digital Swatchbook"). From a
programming point of view (i.e. writing software to control the instrument)
a valid password must be sent through the driver to the instrument in order
for it to work. Different passwords were used for each of the two variants,
so they were not interchangeable. I do not know how long these two versions
were maintained (maybe they still are), but I suppose this might be the
cause of your trouble, given your description. Just a guess, though. I don't
know how to visually tell them apart.
