Hi Graeme,
I found Jim by googling "Linux SDR Software". Looking at his code I thought it would not be too difficult to get Softrock supported.
Helmut and his group moved on to developing the R2T2 SDR transciever using QtRadio but the HiQSDR stuff is still up for sale on technologie2000.de
The file is gpio.tgz. The code builds gpio_V0_1.hex for ATmega32 and is interfaced to the HiQSDR Aux IO port, needs +3.3V signals from the ATmega32.
I originally used his RASDR software which had to be modified for different timezones and a few terms from German into English but eventually settled for quisk with Raspberry Pi 2 --> Pi3 -> the more powerful ODROID-C2 960K samplerate.
No great hurry, when you are settled and have the time.
73 ... Sid.

Hi Sid,
In the early days pre softrock I had a sound card sdr made from CD4066's in parallel and an AD9850 vfo controlled with a PIC. I corresponded with Jim and he helped me to get it going with Quisk and although I tried all the other consoless I stayed with Quisk and it is still my primary radio except for wspr where I use the fabulous SparkSDR. I reckon that about the time Jim was getting USB going you must have been working in parallel and he was being hounded by us both :-) I will be forever grateful for what he did for us as it was outside of what he needed for his personal station.
I think that Helmut may have lost interest in the early development of HiQSDR and it seems to have gone off in another direction with different PC console from Quisk so I don't expect that you will get the IO extensions that you are looking for. It might be possible to implement this ourselves in conjunction with Quisk and do it sort of backwards but I have no chance in the near future of looking at it as having recently moved house I am still trying to unpack enough boxes and make cupboards and benches so I can get the car in the garage. However a stand alone radio with HiQSDR is on my horizon and I want to use HL2 as a box that I connect all kinds of experimental accessories to and it will sit on my lan.
I do hope that you get a response.
73, Graeme ZL2APV
