Even the button connections are all out of order. --- End quote --- The KeyWiz does the same thing ( logical groupings, just sans MAME specific board labels ).... Therefore, the inputs are governed by the pin-layout of the CPU. It is possible to translate the data to try to arrange the inputs in numerical order, but it's a complex and unnecessary step to make the CPU perform when it really doesn't mean anything to the function of the device. --- End quote --- So, why didn't you cross the wires on the PCB? Easier on the user, no extra load on the chip. (That much more expensive to manufacture, I guess?) (In the middle of wiring, and just venting a little. Once it's together, I doubt I'll care as much.) |

Based on the specialized nature of the GP-Wiz49 and smaller market size, the pricing would need to be much higher if a special board were made just for it. We sell a lot of KeyWiz's so we can buy large volumes of the PCB's. Doing it this way allows the other products to share the same "economy of scale" even though we sell far less of this variety (at least for the moment) Make sense? RandyT |
