LPT Switch

For 40 inputs, im sorry to say its not worth it. You can get a real keyboard encoder with a reasonable amount of inputs for the same price. With the switch its a good deal, and yes, im sure youll sell a few, but in this case, you'de be better off to just ditch the board because if you wanted one of these its better to BYO for a few bucks and get the full 60.

Well I wouldnt be too sure about that. If you sell those off for lets say $25-$30, its still a pretty good bargain, as long as you can get 60 inputs. This will open up a whole new world for things other than arcades. Im sure if you sold around 30 it would be worth it for you.

Ok, Let's try this. I'll etch out a 60 Pin proto-type board and put it togther to test on my Mame Cab. If the results are good (I'm sure they will be) then I'll start a new thread to generate interest in this product. If I can get enough people to commit to buy the board then I'll have them produced.
A good point was brough up by saying that this board is not just for Arcade related functions, so that is helping me sway away from Scrapping the idea.
Let me kow if this sounds ok?
Thanks
