Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
In fact, setting EOFF did the trick, now the conversion is happening as expected.
Eric, I trusted the top Google result because the URL looks fine and suggests, at least to me, that it's the official documentation for the current version. I will take more care in the future :) I believe it would be more clear if a warning would be put on top of that old page, saying that the most up to date documentation can be found at the wiki.
Dirk, the 'type' variable was already defined in a private structure, so it agrees with your suggestion. I had created a custom function (not specialLinconv()) to setup those conversion parameters. Is there any special reason to use specialLinconv() instead of a custom function? I thought that EPICS would call specialLinconv() every time a conversion was needed (for, say, weird conversion rules), apparently that's not the case.

Eric,
This is the prehistoric version of the Record Reference Manual,
before it was wikified in 2005.
It describes the 3.13 linear conversion correctly.
All links on the EPICS web site point to the current wiki version.
I honestly don't think anyone should invest time into "fixing"
history.
