Hi Steve,

I have an idea for wiring up an old dedicated unit to an NC control card in a
computer, and writing a sript interface to control the dedicated chess unit from
xboard/Winboard.  I think it would involve replacing the LEDs with individual
sensors as well as replacing the the pressure switches with electronic ones.

Do you know of anyone who has tried this?

Regards,
Matt
