Nothing against your drivers, but Matt should understand that they were
not derived from the xycom drivers that were included with Base-3.13.x
and earlier. IIRC the original xycom digital drivers had a slightly
unexpected mapping between the signal address and I/O channels (S0 is
not port 0 bit 0). The xy240 driver also has a background thread that
emulates I/O Interrupt scanning.

I suspect Matt has existing applications that expect the original
capabilities, so compatibility may be important to him.
