Question about turboprops

I'm about to start the transition course from the venerable Bonanza A36 to the Piper Cheyenne or the Beech King Air.

Although I've studied a lot about jet aircrafts and it's systems, I know little or almost nothing about turbopropellers.

The one thing that intrigues me the most is the pressurization controls at the King Air, as I've seen in pictures. It's seems to lack any automation at all! It's worst than the 737-200 pressuruzation controls, even the B200 or the B350.

How this system works and why it still made this old-fashioned way?

Thank's for any responses!
