postmortem:
would it be easier to just get an MK1 5.0 T unit board? should that one be the same as MK2 and up as far as the kick harness?

also, how do i even connect the kick harness to these switching boards? Do I need some kind of special kick harness that splits to multiple connecters? Sorry im kinda a noob about this stuff.

this is the switcher im lookin at http://www.jammaboards.com/store/6-in-1-multijamma-switcher-pcb/prod_250.html

No all MK1s have the same kick harness.you'll have to put resistors in line for the kick harnesses. I never bothered with a jamma switcher for the MK boards because you need to daisy chain solder the -5v   I dont play MK1 in my cab, but switching between MKII and UMK3 takes all of 5 seconds.

Search Multi MK on here and look for the thread by MK3Fan

I guess I have more research to do. This video suggests that the T units use the same kick harness as MK2. What do ya think?

Nope you are right, the Tunit boards did switch the kick harness, the MK manual I have wasnt for a T unit one. That video is by the user on this board that goes by the name MK3Fan

if you are going to use a jamma switcher, you will need to solder the -5V between connections. If youre going to just swap PCBs like in the video, then you just move the 2 connections

Yeah I have 5 mk board in my 6 in 1 switcher.  I believe the new 2 in 1 switchers have -5v wired if not you will have to solder a wire on to it to take the -5v.  As for the kick harness each board needs its own.  You then have to connect the kick harness's together somehow.  ( I twisted like wires together by twisting the wires on to each other, then soldering them together, I then took a few diodes (Mk3 fan vids say which ones on need) and soldered one on each like kick harness wire.  I then soldered a wire to the other end of the diode and connected that wire to the correct corresponding button.  There is definitely a cleaner way to this I am sure but it works.  The diodes restrict and feedback/phantom button presses or something like that.  but yeah MK3fans vids are a must watch for this.
