The reason for this is that this is ancient hardware and it hasn't seen any development in ages and no apparent users. It hasn't been tested with actual hardware in many, many years. To update it it would need to be converted to the control framework and vb2, but without any hardware that's going to be impossible. In my view it is time to retire this driver. The lack of hardware and users and the fact that it uses deprecated APIs makes it a good candidate to removal.
