The purpose of module_types.c is to allow you to easily change the
default definitions for address locations, interrupt vectors, etc.
Loading the default version accomplishes nothing since it just has
the default definitions.

The way to use it is the following:

1) Copy the default version from epics. (In base/src/drv/old)
2) Edit and compile your local copy.
3) Load your local copy and execute the command

   module_types
   
   BEFORE calling iocInit 
   
I am sending this message to tech-talk because it may be of general interest.
