I have only seen the one 7260 I have, and it has not been calibrated  
either.  I'm glad to see at least one was - first I've heard of it.

On the 7260 schematic, you can see a resistor-divider giving  
0.0625*Vin to the ADC (1% resistors).

The on-board ADC is a little "funny", and the adc_7250 program has  
been nothing but trouble for me.
Try ADCpoll.c, which can be found in sources/busybox-1.00-rc2/ 
coreutils/ADCpoll.c on the linux CD (or on the ftp site).
This may be available as a busybox command depending on how your  
system is configured (it was not set up on the stock busybox shipped  
with my board).
