I can just imagine.  I've got an ADI _and_ an HSI I have to get working.
The HSI has a "de-mil'd" connector on the back that has to be replaced as
well. :(

They're really simple, not much to describe.  The more complex ones do
download their software on connect, so it's easy to do firmware updates on
them.  Chester is really good about looking at new ideas for Phidgets.  I
bet if you described the requirements of the DA conversion needed to drive
Synchros, he'd pick it up and run with it. :)
