You are probably the first one to try downloading from an empty iconhd family 
dive computer :-)

Although this is a rather unlikely situation, I don't see any problems to treat 
0xffffffff special, and return success. Will you submit a patch? Or do I fix 
this myself?

If you don't mind, can you also send me a memory dump (and logfile) of your 
empty dive computer? It's always good to have some test data of corner cases! To 
download a memory dump, you can run the universal test application with these 
options:

universal -v -l iconhd.log -m iconhd.bin -b iconhd <serialport>

If you prefer a graphical application, you can use subsurface or Divinglog 6.0. 
Both applications have an option to download a memory dump.
