I've had my Pacifica since about 1980, and Jon is right - The
company wants to sell you new electronics if your wheel is more
than a few years old.
It's expensive, but I've found that each new incarnation is
indeed an improvement and worth buying. I am on my third
pedal/controller box system, and it is now out of date and will
be replaced with #4 if/when it dies.
