CNC4PC doesn't sell the UB1 breakout board, so I don't know what you are looking at. I gave you a link to the product, and you apparently looked at everything BUT the link I gave you.
Ger,

Your link takes me to some forum, and a page with a $320 package using a completely different breakout board. But I have now found the actual 5LPT document and prices, and you are right, that is a better way to go, so thanks. I already have lots of ideas for nice, low-cost but very useful add-ons to do with the extra I/O.

Regards,
Ray L.
