I agree. I had a strike zap the KIO3 in my K3 because even though all
my other gear was unplugged at the time, my laptop (which interfaces to
my K3) wasn't. at first thought it was the KUSB. I bought a second
one figuring it wouldn't hurt to have a spare if the cable turned out to
not be the problem ... which it wasn't.
I checked with Elecraft tech support via email to see if individual KIO3
boards were available, or if mine could be repaired. They didn't answer
either of those questions and the sole brief answer was "you should just
buy the new USB version". Which cost about $400, of course.
Don, W3FPR, ended up selling me a set of the three boards he had
replaced for somebody upgrading to the newer boards. One of those was
even bad, but luckily not the serial one I needed. Swapping out the
serial board by itself fixed the problem.

I would expect damage to electronics rather than cables. But ya never
know. :)
