daveg2000:

Has anyone tried this since this thread kind of died out in 2003?

I'd like to hear some more success stories before I blow up
my IPac...

Lilwolf:

I built a seperate cab for my dreamcast so I can't  help with 1st hand knowledge.

but I was under the impression if you !@# up... you blow up the dreamcast not the ipac.

Anyone???

greven grevs:

I hooked my controls to an IPAC and a dreamcast using a A/B printer switching box. I will try to get some pictures of it tonight for ya.

seems to be 2 camps on this issue: those who favor the printer switchbox idea and those who went with the diodes.  maybe i will go with the switchbox idea as it will leave room for future expansions...
i kind of like what these guys did http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jdpyle1/index.htm so i might try to copy them (with the additional support for an ipac)
