screaming:
HOLY CRAPOLA!

All I have to ask is WHEN?!  :o :o

  I don't mind doing the soldering/assembling myself if it means I'll get it cheaper :)

Also, the GP-Wiz49 gives you 23 inputs per stick, so you could easily use 12 inputs for the rotary function, 1 for start, 1 for Coin, 1 for Pause/Esc (split between two interfaces), and have 8 left for buttons.  Wire it this way, use MAME Analog Plus, and you don't need Druin's board.

Now that is an idea I hadn't thought of.  Couldn't it be used to select the mode that the stick was in as well?

As long as you use the mode button or software controls (command-line switching) then yes, you still have 23 buttons and the mode-switching will work.  If you wanted the rotary switch to change modes, then you would lose 8 buttons, but you could use the GP-Wiz49 for the sticks and add one GPWiz or KeyWiz Eco for the buttons.

anyway this would work for the williams style 49-way>?
