Do Ipac's generally work the first time?

You could always map UI INTERFACE and UI CANCEL to something other than TAB and ESC in MAME if you're THAT afraid of re-programming the I-PAC.

Thats what I thought, you had to change the jumper on the ipac when re programming. But reading through here.. http://ultimarc.com/winipac_ipd.html , it doesnt say anything about this.. and on my ipac 4 I dont even see a moveable jumper.. :-\
Tiger-Heli:
I don't think the latest boards use jumpers anymore.

worked first time for me with standard Mame setting
truely plug and play :)

I just wired up an IPAC-2 today and its KILLING ME. It does not work and I cant figure out why. the led lights up and stays on but the keyboard pass thru doesnt work and its not registering any keys in notepad or anything. Its probably a wiring deficiency on my part but I am REALLY FRUSTRATED.
I wiried up my GPwiz 49ways with a few beers and everything worked fine the first time so my wiring skills musn't be too bad. ...I dunno.
The effort I've expended at this point on my little desktop CP makes me just want to give up. >:( Maybe the board is bad. ??
