Thanks Tim,

These were all included in a package of stuff I purchased. Hagstrom was 
unable to help aside from identifying the chip.

Since IFS has gone South, I guess that's why I couldn't find any info on the 
Photon board. The monitor on the "530" has a direct rca jack in, so the 
possibility exists to run the Local Map on that. I suppose I could wire the 
switches on it to the I/O bridge or the plasma card I have here as well. 
(also now defunct) I was hoping to get a bit more documentation on them, 
unfortunately I didn't.

Perhaps I'l hunt around for the main Photon board if one still exists tucked 
away in a shoebox  somewhere. But your note suggests it likely won't work 
with X-Plane anyway?

Thanks again,

Rick
