 An interface with pinmame would be the bomb.   One could then
BYO-Pinball machine.   

 Use the monitor as a backbox wiith score, animations...ect.   

 I think many would love to have such a device. 

 Randys led controller sounds like a great start.   Have not read all the specs...
so not sure it has enough functionality to handle all that would take place
in a full pinball machine.

 IE: One may want 555 bulbs in some spots, and flasher lamps - instead of just leds.  And not sure how many things can be controlled at once.    IE:  a pin may control 15 coils, 150 lights,  5 flashers...ect.

 I really want to make a few mini pins.. maybe 3/4th scale.

A While ago I had to get a computer to control several things Via radio using encoded signals, ended up using a program called LPT Port Control (cant remember where I downloaded it from)  but it is programmable from vb C++ or C# so should be able to control it from anything....

hope it helps (I know its not serial control though)
SirPoonga:
yeah, you said LPT port.  LPT port you don't need anything special to control.  But I won't be having a parallel port on my computer.  So USB is the only way to go.
