I've actually got some of the PHCC boards that I got from Manuel(sp?) 
years ago.  I've got a Rev 4 motherboard, a KEY64D_PH, a AnOut1, a 
DOA_Servo and a DOB_16x_BC635.  Just the bare boards though.

I'm kind of grinding my teeth right now because I've got a pile of money 
sunk into the BI hardware so I can't walk away from it totally.

What I can do is add support for the PHCC hardware to CIM and release it 
as freeware.  CIM right now supports FlightGear v1.0+ MSFS (basically all 
versions), X-Plane and IL2.  It probably wouldn't be difficult to add 
Falcon support.

The question I have, is there any interest in me doing this?
