Parallel Port Relays & Lockout Coils
JoyMonkey:
I'm going to use a relay or two in a cabinet, to turn on the arcade monitor once the computer starts outputing 'safe' frequencies and perhaps to make my coin-door light flash etc.
Rather than use a half-assed homemade relay, I think I might buy one of these pre-assembled kits. It's eight relays on one pcb, all controlled by a simple DOS command. Seems perfect for what I want it to do.
Has anyone bought from these people before, or what are most people using for relays these days?
Edit: Damn thos 'replay' typos!
