Good so far!

If you print these numbers as ASCII text you'll get:
"(113.9 1001000"
This looks like some weird megatec protocol variation. Things to try out:
- get the latest SVN trunk and try 'agiler_old', 'agiler', 'phoenix'
  subdrivers and report back the results
- if the trunk doesn't work any better it could be helpful to sniff
  USB traffic while using supplied Windows driver
