In addition to having the ability to adjust the gains it offers all sorts of extra capabilities including altitude alerting, display of several GPS flight parameters like groundspeed, desired track, track angle error, and can serve as a backup altimeter. It can be wired to provide verbal warnings for oil pressure, and a few other things.
It has been orphaned but the only component that ever seems to fail is the LCD display which was still available from distributors last time I checked. I bought a replacement rotary switch and LED from Steve at Icarus at the end of December. It was $325 for the updated LCD display.

Good to know Steve (I assume that's Steve Silverman) is still around. He helped me through some early adopter issues when I put one in my Baron many years ago.
