It was a very valuable portion of my life. That's a whole trip to Lowe's right there. hahaha

Wow. So much information on the deep technical level. I am a noob that just wants to know what to buy as I'm sure was the question of the original post. So after reading all posts on this topic I have a few basic questions. 1. If you order the IPAC2 board with USB does it come with a USB cable and USB connectors on the board at the PC and KB locations? or are there PS/2 connectors here and you just get a USB cable with a USB-PS/2 adaptor with it? I want to build my first CP with a trackball and spinner wired to an Optipac board and 2 ea. 4-8 way switchable Mag-Stik joysticks and 20 buttons wired to an IPAC2. I think with this set up I can play most all games with the basic hardware that came with the original game except the racing games. If the USB version works just fine and we're only talking $4 more then why not get USB?

You do realize that you just bumped a 5 year old post :D?
Much has changed since those days. Well, except that the doom and gloom spreaders predicting the imminent demise of the PS/2 port are now shown to have been incorrect, as I predicted they would be so long ago. :cheers:
You should start a new thread (or find a more recent one) for your questions. The info here is mostly outdated.

To further bump an old thread - you can't go wrong with either a Keywiz or Ipac. I have both, and am satisfied with each one. Just go to their websites, compare features and price, then buy. No matter which one you choose, you will not be disappointed.
