I like the name. How much do you look like Spock? ;)
Anyway update.
I set the jumper on the Opti-Pac to USB and it worked perfectly.
I modified a button to activate two micro switches. That way I can use it for the X axis and then I push the button and it moves the Y axes. This way I can use the spinner as a mouse and get to the whole screen. I made the 2 buttons under the cabinet as the mouse 1 and mouse 2 buttons. See the pictures from a couple of posts ago.
It boots, into the front end and you can choose what games you want to play and play.

so I have a question. was it my imagination or did some one say that there are modified sound bytes for the mame startrek? I noticed that a number of the samples are just too loud while others (sulu's voice when being welcomed on the bridge) are just to quite. If some one knows where they are now would be a good time to speak up else I will break out soundforge and fix the situation and post a link to the fixed samples here (unless you already have the sample problem worked out stan:D if so you should post links and how to on that as well :D:D:D) by the way I am still following this with more than just a little enthusiasm. I really wish I had the equipment you have now. when I get space I will definetly begin looking around for an actual startrek sit down cab as well as a starwars one.

No I have not worked this out. I just hooked up the sound and got the computer running good to where I can play it and the monitor went out. The sound I have is running straight from the sound of the computer to the speakers. I control the volume in windows. I currently have it turned up as high as it will go in windows and it is just about right for the most part.
I hooked up another monitor to make sure it was the monitor and it is. The power light is on like the monitor is getting signals but I am getting no picture at all. I am looking into getting another monitor for it.

Latest update. I got another monitor from Craigslist for $30. This one was shorter and fit without being decased. It is a tight fit. I need to cut the bolts that hold the fan cover off they stick out about 1/2 inch. That will give a bit more clearance. Also I need to make a permanent holder to hold up the back end. The 2 by 4's are ok for now but not for the long run. You can not see them in the picture but I put 2, 12 volt computer case fans on the bottom to get some air flow through the monitor area.
As you can see I need to fix the bezel to match the monitor. I can do that later. I got MAME and Windows 2000 running good.
