Hi,

I've checked the code, and for some reason the values used in the Linux code don't match the numbers for the error returns in the Programmers Manual. We'll get the fixed in the next release.

Error 4 is in fact ERROR_BAD_UNIT, but looking further the documentation should also be improved! The most likely reason for the fault is that you are not already running the AESCDriver (or Paylink?) program. That program is a driver / daemon that that should always be running on a working Paylink system.
