newbie question - scheme to creat an extra button/input... will this work?

[bmcdonald]

I'm building my 1st control pannel using a Ultimarc Mini-Pac

Can I use something like the Shazaam Adaptor (pictured at website below) with the Ultimarc Mini-Pac to get one more input/button?

In short my intent is to wire a button so that it presses the shift+P at the same time so as to create a Pause button. 

Will this work?

Thanks much,

Brent

^ What PBJ said.

The other thing you could try is use winipac's shift key setup. You assign shift to P1 Start, and then assigned P1start+p1b1 to be "p". Assign "p" to pause your emulator.

Yeah, just use the Minipac's shifted keys. You can define them in Winipac.

The response on this forum is AWSOME.  I appreciate all of your help. 

I found exactly what I was looking for on a very useful website.  Basically you can add extra buttons to an I-Pac using the info contained here:

If you're new to a board, like the topic creator, the best assurance you can get is the same answer over and over. When only one person answers, you don't know if you can trust it, but several people saying the same thing instills a bit more confidence.
