Goes back even further than that, all the way to the semi-automatic bug, in my opinion. We used to put relay circuits on our keys to get reliable, click/bounce free keying of our rigs, due to contact bounce and poor contact in general in the bug's moving parts. I'm going to have to build one of these for my two Vibroplex's in fact to properly key my elecrafts too, because of the occasional 7 to 8ohms that appears when making the Dahs....
For me, the only really working final solution to using a computer with my rigs has been to unhook it from the rig completely. When I go operate, I have the K2 or K3, a paddle or straight key and a pencil/notebook and that's it. Yeah, I'll never win any contests, but at least I can key the rig. So at the end of the day, I've found, computers and ham rigs ultimately don't mix.
