a helpful modification for /etc/init.d/AMBEserver

"as is" the parameters are plug-n-play for the DVDongle (blue box), right?
it needs to be a little different for the ThumbDV dongle (formerly DV3000u).

the documentation available is for both old versions of hardware and AMBEserver and new versions - though it seems the older docs are more abundant. it makes for confusion.

so, with this small change, at least there will be something to point a newcomer in the right direction:
`#! /bin/sh

BEGIN INIT INFO

Provides: AMBEserver

Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs

Required-Stop:

X-Start-Before:

Default-Start: 2 3 4 5

END INIT INFO

N=/etc/init.d/AMBEserver

set -e

case "$1" in

# ThumbDV with AMBEserver as system-wide service
# activate on command line using: sudo service AMBEserver start
/usr/local/sbin/AMBEserver -d -i /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 460800
# all others - comment out the previous and uncomment the following
# /usr/bin/AMBEserver -d -i /dev/ttyUSB0
