--- Quote from: mahuti on November 17, 2004, 03:23:53 am ---I want a board that's cheap enough for me to buy multiples of... so that i can put them on my swappable control panels. I don't know much about PS/2 cables (sorry I'm more of a USB guy)... As long as one is plugged in when the computer is started, I can hot swap them later right? Please forgive my ignorance. --- End quote --- There's a better way to do swappable, keep the interface in the cabinet, make a connector to all the inputs ont he interface (IE an IDE cable), have it so swappable panels plug into the IDE cable. Randy, COOL! IDE header price answer: http://www.pacificcable.com/IDEIDHCon.htm They aren't expensive though it is hard to find just one to buy, usually come in 5-10 packs. |

The header is the part that you solder to the board. This is the part that goes on the cable. Which is already attached to your hard drive cable. |

I picked up a 5-pack of 80-pin headers at Fry's for $4. Cut them in half and you've got 40-pin headers at 40 cents each! I usually cut them up in 12-pin sections for xbox mods. http://www.outpost.com/product/2069003 |

Sounds like an excellent option for Bartops. Priced fairly and the extra $3 will be worth it (IMO). |

OH, and not rich.... just fussy... about that anyway. |
