They are still available to those who were originally interested. Most
of the original list paid and I shipped theirs months ago. Phillip
responded recently and I sent his to the UK. Two go in a Flat Rate
Priority Mail box, although First class mail is cheaper for overseas
most of the time.
I have a couple with broke keys that I am willing to strip and provide
for experimentation as a bare board if you fry yours in trying.

CRAP. I was about to dig out mine and yank the 8051.
I'm not 100% sure if my programmer is even following the spec, it's
basically a PIC18F452 micro, a 74HC4040 counter and a bunch of resistors. If
you've got a proper 8051 programmer, then it might be worth trying it...
I've got DataIO Unisite and 2900 programmers here. Right now, though, I'm
preparing for a hurricane, then a cross-country drive (from Florida to
Wisconsin and back) immediately thereafter, so I won't be able to spend any
time on this until afterwards.
Meanwhile, I'm buzzing out the PCB, then
I'm going to pull some of the
larger components and take pictures. If I can get a bit of spare time, I'll
see about borrowing the inspection scope and camera at work for a couple of
hours to get some decent PCB pics. Scanning isn't going to work, not with
the LEDs as tall as they are...
If you put the time into figuring out what's where on the board, I'll write
new firmware.
Speaking of the LPFK units...Someone, Paxton I think, was arranging a bulk
buy of them at one point earlier this year. I thought I had gotten in on
that deal, but I haven't heard anything. Whatever happened with that? I'd
like to get a few, especially if I'll be writing new firmware for them.
