Looks like the Engravity thing. I'm not yet 'on the case' but intend
to contact them soon to see whether I can get a sample unit to rewrite
the MCDU software for this equipment. Should be relatively easy as they
use a USB connection carrying NMEA data (normally used for keyboard and
display control of GPS/nav units).

I saw these units in real life a few weeks ago and they are very nice,
only gripe is that the LCD display isn't even close to the real thing,
but few people will care.

Engravity is a Dutch company, as far as I know.
