Cheap encoder for only 8 inputs?

Witchboard:

Not sure if I want to throw the cash out for something that can support 20+ when I only need 8.  I think I'm going to build my brother a bartop with a 4-way and two buttons.  It will be running DOS 7.1 so it will have to be PS/2.  Any suggestions?

Keyboard hack !! ;)

SirPeale:

Keyboard hack.  Hands down.

Trenchbroom:

Or the good 'ol gameport Sidewinder control pad hack.  Should be easy to find one Sidewinder in a thrift store or used computer shop.  Lot less messy then a keyboard hack.

Witchboard:

I've never done a keyboard hack.  Any docs on how to do such a thing?  I'll keep an eye out for some gameport sidewinders also.  I guess I would have to get DOS drivers for those.
