this. It's a shame that ultracade didn't take off, that "I/O board" was really well setup and could have been used for anything since it just emulated a keyboard/mouse but plugged right into JAMMA.

There are more than enough dedicated cpu jamma boards out there for you to analyze. Hell, i saw one just the other day that had rigged two (s)nes shift registers for the controller input. I'm assuming it simply used sneskey or similar for the controls.
Most of the ones that have been out there though aren't too popular. They are still just ghetto rigged solutions for the same things that your average byoac member had done at the DIY level with minimal effort.
Even so, that still leaves your 15khz support issue.

I have a Target Terror I/O board that seems to do the same thing.

yeah i kinda looked at that too. I thought the same with the PGA golf I/O not sure about how it's emulated though. it's USB, so i plugged it into an XP machine and it detects and installs an HID but that's about it. doesn't emulate a keyboard or anything as far as i could tell...plus it's not jamma.
well, here's to still hoping. :cheers:
