The board police will probably move this to the software forum, but since a lot of people use I-PAC's and since I usually only follow this board, I wanted to post it here (for a while, at least). And someone might have put it on the software board already :(
Anyway, the software is at http://www.ultimarc.com/winipac.html
The software works under XP, has a slick new GUI which is easier to follow (no more converting keys to keycodes, etc.) and allows you to right-click on a button to set it's value to "none". It can also still be run from a batch file to program your I-PAC "on-the-fly".
Thanks Andy and Scott for continually making a great product even better!!!

I believe I read that that software only works on the newer boards made this year though. Maybe someone can confirm this, but I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, you're right, actually the software only works in USB mode with the newer boards. It MIGHT work in PS/2 mode with older boards. Older boards can still use the IPACUTIL software.
BTW, I posted a reply which should interest you in the 6-button layout thread :D

"This means that if you are connected using USB, this program will only work on boards shipped after August 1 2002.
For boards shipped before this date, USB mode will not work. If you are connected via the PS/2 keyboard interface, boards shipped before Aug 1 2002 MAY work but there are some complex I-PAC and PC issues which may prevent operation. This software is fully supported with either connection method and all Windows versions for boards shipped after Aug 1 2002."

lucky me, huh? I had the OLD ipac with the AT plug. Something went wrong with it, Andy let me trade it in for "repairs". I got a whole new IPAC (after august 1st I believe too). I don't use the USB anyway...
