Me and a friend are currently building a mini TAF from the ground up and this sounds very interesting. We have been modifying pinmame to output LEDs using a Freescale micro controller but not got much further with the PC side of things.
I remember your page on the baby pac and thinking what a cool idea it was, I think it's always been in the back of my mind and set me down this crazy path!
