Thanks, I appreciate it.
What is interesting is the only comparable on the GGG site to the Ultimarc Ultimate I/O board is the LED Wiz. The Wiz board seems to handle button, joystick and LEDs through the same ports on the board. Compared to the I/O board, which has its button, joystick and LED connections all separate.
Maybe I'm missing something there, but the comparison wasn't exactly apples to apples. The I/O board is more expensive as well.
However, Andy from Ultimarc is quick with email replies and very helpful. As for Randy at GGG, I have been trying to contact him for a week and have not heard back. There is no email or contact info on the GGG site, only the ability to submit a question through a "contact us" section.
