Title: Are there any American Vendors with the usb Ipac/Jpac cable?
Post by: monkeybomb on August 18, 2015, 08:06:03 pm
I have an older jpac and I just found out that it is usb compatible, if I have the right cable.   I would buy from ultimarc, but I need to get it by early next week.  Need in the "good for a party" way.   Not shelter....

So do you need a cable for the Ipac or the Jpac ?

List to the different cables that can be used just compare the ends I guess.

Mini USB (http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-2-0-Cable--Male/dp/B00NH11N5A/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1439945932&sr=1-1&keywords=mini+USB+cable)

USB Type B (http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-2-0-Cable--Male/dp/B00NH11KIK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439946111&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+type+b)

PS/2 for older ipacs (http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-6-Feet-Keyboard-Mouse-Cable/dp/B0000511L1/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439946188&sr=8-1&keywords=PS%2F2+cable) Dont think you need this though.

he needs the 'usb to ps2' type cable as detailed in the link below.
you should only really use the ones ultimarc supply as getting one off ebay may have problems (eg. different wiring)

The only U.S. distributor that would have it is arcadeemulator.net
But I will guarantee you that you will get it faster from Ultimatc than from the other guy.

Every order I have placed with Ultimarc, I have received in CT, US in 2-3 days

Andy is magical.

Of course if it is a standard cable then you may consider getting at a local store.
But don't dilly dally, your time is ticking

Love this place!  So much help all the time.  Last night, I got an itchy trigger finger for this particular cp and couldn't resist the blinky lights of the LED Wiz+ GP.  It's a fairly small set-up with only 7 buttons, so this will be perfect. Picking up the cables from arcadeemulator.net as well.  Lots of upgrades going on here at MB Arcades!

Ultimarcs shipping is an anomaly. I could place an order for a few joysticks, buttons and an interface... go drop a duece, walk downstairs and have my package at my door. From another country non the less. I still believe andy has produced some sort of delivery missile.
