I agree. In fact, it's such a useful part that I'm kind of amazed that Innovation First doesn't simply package their robot controllers with one. To make a dongle like ours, all you need is a parallel port enclosure and two switches. For how much cost it would add to each KOP, it would really be a worthwhile addition.
