John,

   Somewhere around here, I have other references/articles 
regarding PC Flight Systems.  Basically, one "needs" the 
"custom designed" eData module to do the A-D conversions 
from engine sensors.  I'm certain this is predicated on 
the data format that his program expects to see in the 
input stream. 

   At that price, it isn't *quite* worth reverse-engineering 
an interface of your own - unless you just enjoy the 
challenge, or just don't have an extra $700 laying around 
(like me).

Regards,
Dale R.
