2-Bit encoder review

<< < (2/2)

Trimoor:

--- Quote ---No kidding. My free time is precious, and to spend a month and a half corresponding with the seller, swapping parts, trying it on different machines and having to personally repair the thing is at least $500 worth of aggravation.

That makes the IPAC sound like a bargain (and I agree that it is). That 2 bit encoder is aptly named.

Well, since I am making this thing for a friend, I'll make sure he covers the cost of my time and effort. ;D ;D

TOK:
Ah, billable hours! That's 50 per hour times, uh, just how many hours are in a month and a half?  ;D

Bgnome:
i agree that the price difference does not justify the effort that went into getting this thing to work.  however, i do not believe the coder, wolfmanspike, is at fault.  the product is old, out of production, and not originally intended for this application.  i personally think its a well designed product and does what it was meant to do, however trimoor was unlucky enough to run into several problems that relate to the age of this product.  this guy knows about mame and has some good info at http://www.lupinesystems.com/
people have problems all the time with the ipac interfaces.  that doesnt mean that andy is a bad guy.  i think this info says something about wolfmanspike's willingness and support despite quality of product.  once again, trimoor was unlucky.  hopefully others that purchased this product wont be as unlucky.

Trimoor:
I never said he was a bad guy.  I don't even blame him. (mostly I blame usps. damn you government.)
In fact, I explicitly stated that he

--- Quote ---was very prompt and professional with his replies
--- End quote ---
and that he was nice enough to help me through this.

Bgnome:
i dont think you blamed him either.  it just looks to me that people are getting the wrong impression and i dont want to see that happen.  i am glad that you finally got things working though.
