Title: WT: IPAC 4
Post by: Demon-Seed on April 12, 2004, 05:27:57 pm

Hi
I am building a new cabinet and I have the old IPAC 2 with 28 inputs (PS2) I need the larger type of board i think IPAC 4 with the 52 inputs. ANyone have a good site to purchase it? I checked ebay negative results. Ultrimac has it but it will cost me 77 US$ and I am in Canada.. Anyone sell them in Canada? anyone have a used one? or does anyone want to trade? let me know.. need to order it this week.

thanks
Jim

Hi!

Game Cabinets, Inc here in the states also has the I-Pac for sale..

They're a tad higher in cost than Ultimarc, tho.

You could just buy another I-PAC/2 and daisy-chain it into the current one using the keyboard pass-thru.  Would be cheaper than trading it out and buying an I-PAC/4

Good idea sounds too complex for me though

Buy 2nd I-PAC 2 -
Move Jumper to ALT
Plug in and program to match settings you would use for I-PAC/4 Players 3 and 4.  Wire to Players 3 and 4.
Program and wire up existing I-PAC/2
Plug output cable of 2nd I-PAC/2 to keyboard Pass-thru port of existing I-PAC.

MAME away!

Still sound too complicated ? -

Basically there are only two differences between this and the I-PAC/4 -

1) You have two separate boards with a cable connecting them, instead of one board.

2)  You cannot directly program the Player 3 and 4 inputs, you have to plug the second board in and program it, and then connect it back to the pass-thru.
