Chris:
Interesting new additions to the TOKN eBay listings:
On Jun-23-05 at 00:28:22 PDT, seller added the following information:
We're the first company to provide you with this ground breaking multi-processor technology. Multi-processor means less scanning overhead and greater throughput which is a must for large scale game panels with multiple players. The scanning tasks are coordinated with Tokn Media's Smart Arbiter (tm) technology to guarantee equal access from any coordinated bank. Be sure to pick one up and get your game project going! We're now doubling your ghost protect confidence with a free diode pack and protection sw. Check in at the website. We have you covered. Bundled shipping for the polite. Today's Fun Fact: arcadecontrols message board user registration dates RandyT Feb 6, 2002 6:35pm Tiger-Heli Feb 6, 2002 12:54pm Random coincidence?

Pay no heed to this Tiger$Heli persona that is panicly obsessed with Tokn Media's line of encoders. He's been pushing KeyWiz products on arcadecontrols for years and pulled the exact same stunt with Ultimarcs I-PAC a few years ago.
Tiger-Heli:
This gets better and better!!!!.

So he is now providing a free diode pack for his encoder that has no ghosting. Nice gesture.

This one's good. I've been on here since around 2000. RandyT has probably been around a similar, but not equal amount of time. Date new software was installed on BYOAC - um, I'm guessing Feb 6, 2002. Message board registration dates for some 1,000 or so members - Feb 6, 2002, I'm guessing. Random coincidence - hardly. (I've been on the boards six hours longer than RandyT if it comes to bragging rights, though :police: )

Clever using Tiger$Heli, so he can deny anything if he pushed it. I didn't pull any stunts with anyone, nor am I panicly obsessed. I reviewed it and tried to help some people out. I have been recommended the KeyWiz b/c I think it's a great product. I didn't do anything with the I-PAC except to point out the KeyWiz as an alternative when I thought it was appropriate. The I-PAC at least works as advertised, and would be recommended over the KeyWiz if you really wanted USB or an active pass-thru, or EEPROM, or LED's. Anyone can review my post history and verify any of this.
KevSteele:
Heh...well, I can vouch that RandyT and TigerHeli aren't the same person (although both are very enthusiastic about the KeyWiz products!)
Love the fact that he's now adding diodes to double "your ghost protect confidence." I wonder what sort of software he's added to the mix, as well.
I just wish he'd been more open up front about the design and it's possible limitations, and also not kept insisting that there was no ghosting when there were three different people telling him they could easily reproduce it...

Tiger-Heli:
He made a typo, I've been on here since February 26 (just like Saint :police: ). But no point expecting Mattp to let the facts interfere with a good conspiracy.

But if he did that, how could he get the newb's to pay $25 for them? :police:
Chris:
What I don't understand is how diodes are supposed to allow simultaneous keypresses for keys that would ordinarily ghost or block? Has anyone ever actually used diodes to get around ghosting and blocking successfully, or is it just theoretical? Can you actually add diodes to a TOKN16 and get 16 simultaneous keypresses?
