The KIO3's digital I/O module could be replaced with one that has USB 
rather than RS232 -- or better yet, both. We planned for this.

The reason we went with RS232 initially is that many hams are still 
using PCs that have only RS232 ports. Those who prefer to use USB can 
use an inexpensive USB-to-RS232 adapter. There is no difference in I/O 
performance between the two methods.
