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
Default-Stop:
Short-Description: Provide AMBE Encode/Decode
Description: Provide daemon for AMBE Encoding and Decoding
END INIT INFO
N=/etc/init.d/AMBEserver

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
