Brian74:
So I have googled and searched for a alternative way of sharing the buttons and trackball between my silver strike and bag toss games. I have both pc's mounted in my ssb cab. For the video and audio I plan on using a kvm switch. I tried splicing the ground and 5v between the i/o board and trackball with a dpdt switch. Then wiring the rest of the wires together. But it didn't work. Is there another way beside happs perfect solution or a db9 switch to do this? There is a jamma connector on the bag toss i /o board, but there isn't one on the ssb.

chopperthedog had a nice thread about using relays for switching between a PC and a JAMMA Multi-williams.  I think he said it cost him $50 in parts at the end of the day.

I plan on doing something similar for a future project.

I seen that, but I have never used relays before. Maybe I will msg him see if he can dumb it up for me so I can understand. Thanks opt!

A relay is an electronic switch.  In one state without power, in another state with power.  Closed / Open / Closed are standard.

But that post doesn't say anything about what the guy used..  so its kind of worthless.
