Y-Plus Controller

If you're talking optical controls like a trackball, I've successfully used my older minipac to interface my Happs trackball no problem.

I got the switch harness with the setup, but I made my own trackball harness out of a non keyed usb motherboard header block. Just your basic 10 pin block. This block plugs into the extra, smaller group of pins on your minipac, providing power and ground to your trackball. The X,Y signals actually go to the wiring harness pins on the switch harness.

Both harnesses is the answer.  Or wiring them without harnesses.  Since you are only using a small number of buttons, wiring them by hand as opposed to the harness may safe money at the expense of a little time.

I'm still right to say both harnesses.  No matter how much you don't or can't believe it, if you're hooking up buttons AND an optical control to the Mini-pac, whether it's used, new, old style, new style, or does hand stands while you post about it for years on end without doing anything, it doesn't change the answer.   :whap

Don't get your panties in an uproar. I never contradicted your answer.(Even though it is still not the answer to my question). And no matter how many times I ask for a pointer to the specific harness(or harnesses) I need in this thread I get responses that have nothing to do with that question. So I might as well move on.

Well what do you know. I just checked my e-mail and had a response back from Andy.

This is the older board and had a combined switch and trackball/spinner harness. If you need the harness, these can be ordered on this page: www.ultimarc.com/upgrade.html

Andy

So apparently you are wrong about me needing two harnesses... (Unfortunately the link Andy gave me was incorrect).
