Hooking up a custom OI panel

We are planning a panel of switches for our pneumatics, but might have a problem. I found the pinout guide at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/26381 and it looks like there are only 4 digital outputs; we are needing eight. We could hook up a second serial connector, but I was wondering if the analog outputs could be used. I'll admit I am mostly a programming guy, so this may be an incredibly stupid question.

I know the analog outputs have a range of 0-255. If we hooked up our on off switch to them, would they return 0 or 255, depending on the switch position, or would they fry our OI?

I'm hoping I can be lazy without killing anything.
