*COM2 may not work properly with Simulink/XPC Target

*Analog outputs inverted and not quite scaled 1:1 (5V commanded out is actually approximately -4.5V) - [http://hades.mech.northwestern.edu/wiki/index.php?title=PC104_I/O#DAC read this]

*Digital outputs are open collector circuits -- although not a problem, can be confusing, like the analog outputs - [http://hades.mech.northwestern.edu/wiki/index.php?title=PC104_I/O#DIO read this too]

*Digital outputs reset to low momentarily whenever model is started and when model is downloaded, independent of "reset vector" and "initial value vector" settings. (at least with 2006a+ version of xPC -- unsure of bug in other versions)
