Robin,

That will not work.  The KPA100 depends on internal signals from the base K2 such as AUXBUS and several other signals to operate and control power output.  In other words, it is an amplifier dedicated to the K2 and not a general purpose amplifier.

The KXPA100 and KXAT100 would serve you better than cobbling up an interface that would be quite complex.

he signals needed are those in the 9 pin AUX IO connector.  AUXBUS allows the base K2 firmware to 'talk' to the KPA100 firmware IC as well as the KAT100 firmware.
