Special Offer: Announcing BYOAC Discount on Mini-PAC

[NoBullMAME]

I thought last time I was on Andy's site he had the old style mini-pacs back up?

The new one is okay, but  loved the old one, with built-in trackball support!

Andy, if you're around was I seeing things? Do you have the old style mini-pacs in stock?

Update: I just went and checked out Andy's store and I didn't see the old minipac listed--maybe it was a brain fart?

I have two "old style" MiniPACs that I've never used since at the time I bought them the optional cable wasn't long enough for my needs. They've been gathering dust until I can figure out a way to get around using those thin IDE cables.(Which seem all but impossible to strip and connect to switches anyway).

So I've been using my hydrogen controllers, which give me a different problem. I have to keep re-flowing the solder because the connections to the PCB are flaky. (I suck at soldering).

man...thanks for bringing up a 3.5 year old thread and getting my hopes up.

Wow - Total foul.  I didn't even think about that when I resurrected this one.  I was impressed that I found this thread, tho.

Craptacular.  Mods, lock this and I'll start a new one that refers to this instead.  {hanging head in shame}

Ummm, that's why there is the warning message when you first tried to post:

Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic.

I was pretty sure I wanted to post.  After all, since I can't find pictures of this version of Minipac anywhere - at all - and others purchased this minipac directly as a result of this thread it's pretty obvious this was a good thread to reference.
What wasn't so good was a failure to realize the title could be misconstrued.  If the title were "Hey I need to hook up my minipac" it' wouldn't be an issue.
That said, did you buy one and if so did you hook it up, and if you did, where did you get your cable?  That's what I'm asking.  I didn't ask if there was a warning notice when pulling up an old post.
Now go

I hooked mine up using terminal strips and an old cable out of a PC.

Yeah, obviously you should have read the title more closely, and started a new thread.

Yes, I've bought two. For the  first one, I did what BobA did, got an old ribbon cable to wire it up. For the second I just bought andy's wiring harness made for it. Saved me the hassle.

Now you go
