Many people have used our Pac-Drive boards for pinball drivers.
Note if you use a LED controller which uses modulation to vary brighness you need to ensure the modulation can be turned off and a solid on or off sent to the solenoid.

Ultimarc products are terrific. I'm using about a dozen total I-Pacs and Opti-Pacs.

Thinking of controllable LEDs + solenoids: The Pac-Drive can handle a total of 64 (16 outputs x 4 boards) . The Led-Wiz can handle a total of 512 (32 outputs X 16 boards).  The U-HID can support 400 (50 outputs x 8 boards).

Based on that, assuming that the modulation can be turned off, I'd have to go with the Led-Wiz or U-HID.

BTW: The A.C. Game Systems PC to Pinball Interface also handles lighting. But he has not yet replied to my e-mail questions.

Another BTW: Randy T.: Where are you?

I do have one Cab that uses:
   3 - Ultimarc I-Pacs
   2 - Ultimarc Opti-Pacs
   4 - AKI Analog Kontrol Interfaces
   1 - Druin's LS30 Rotary Interface

Suffer!  >:D

Check out Sybil at: http://www.marksarcade.com/

Most of the interfaces are mentioned on the Control Panel's page, but I forgot to mention the I-Pac in the Admin Panel and the AKI for the pedals.
