Nay, Nay said the little red hen, no I use these puppies, I have a bout 
10 units (used) they all had to be reprogramed so the usb would work. 
but that no problem... and since its programable I/O for my NAV computer 
hardware:

which has been gutted buy all of the displays and switches are there
so I use the card and I program it. you do the keyboard has been rewired 
to output 0-D via priorty encoders, and then each switch goes to hex 
latch, 2 switches per latch so
1 latch for the two rotary switches
1 latch for the two thumb wheel switches
1 latch the the keyboard it self
1 latch /decoder  14bit one for each display
1 latch / decoder 16 bits
a bad sim of it. http://www.phoenixcomm.net/~phnx2000/sim/demo/demo.html
BTW i am also rewriting the code so I can plug them into a UNIX box and 
use my streams drivers.
