A simple relay circuit that would allow you to control 12v devices using an LEDwiz might be worthwhile.

You can do that with this board. Simply wire from the 12v block on the board to one of the "C" terminals in front of a relay.  Use the "NO" terminal in front of the relay for your 12v devices you want to control.

As an example, on occassion I need to reboot my cable modem (much less often now that I replaced it) and sometimes my router.  Using this and a driver app, I could power cycle my modem?  (Sample app would ping my webhost every x minutes and after two consecutive failures, it would send a trigger to the parallel port to trigger the relay, first off, then on).  Is that the concept?

Yes, you've got the idea.  Theres lots of neat stuff you can do with the parallel port and a relay or two.

With the "LO" version, can a dedicated microswitch be wired just to the powermite (bypassing a keyboard encoder)?

Thanks.

You can use LO or HI for this.  For LO connect to ground, for HI connect to 5v.
EDIT:  Of course with a momentary type button you would have to keep pressing the button to keep the relay energized.  An on/off type switch would work though.

I will admit the relay functionality may be for the more advanced user, but anyone should be able to put the basic version to use for an easy way to run power to your coin door lights and such.
I will also say its not nearly as complicated as it might seem at first.

So how would I use this if I have two LEDwiz's and want my coin doors lit?  I just might be stupid.
