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.
