X-Arcade USB PC ADAPTER? where to get them?

(1/2) > >>

MPTech:
I built an arcade last month, powered by a barely able P3 450mhz PC.  After seeing it lag so bad and not able to play some 2 player games, I upgraded it to a new P4 3.0ghz and new 128mb video card.  It runs great now, except my X-Arcade Control Panel doesn't work with the new PC.  I borrowed my buddines USB adapter and it solved the problem.  he said he got it from X-Arcade for like $20.  Their site says they are completely out of stock until next month.  They offer a replacement, but the y want $50!  (WOW is that high for what you get!)

Does anyone else make a similar adapter?  They say you can't use a normal PS/2 to USB adapter.
Why would this be so expensive?

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

in maplin?  I cant find a link on their website.  Believe it or not that would be a cheaper way of upgrading to a four player cab.  Buying just the x-arcade interface is more than that.
