Gary,

You do *not* lose the computer connection when the KPA100/KAT100 are 
located in a separate enclosure.
The cable to be constructed is exactly the same as the one shown in the 
KAT100 manual.  The connector that connects to the K2 (KIO2 option) has 
2 cables coming out of it - one goes to the KPA100/KAT100 and the other 
cable goes to the computer.

The only thing that is lost is the ability to connect the computer to 
the KPA100 connector, one must connect to the computer from the KIO2.

73,
Don W3FPR
