And thank you for adding an extra week or so to my project!  At this point, I'm not even keeping track anymore...   ;)

Oscar, I just gotta say, you are one of the kindest BYOAc guys I know of...a lot of other folks may see an opportunity to sell a schematic, or a set of detailed plans, but in every thread you participate in, you are looking for a solution  or asking questions that benefits all of us,,thank you..

that may be the six pack talkin', but the sentiment remains the same..:-)
ttfn,

I appreciate your comments very much.  Really.  I haven't completely turned to the Dark Side yet.  :)   I'm still a hobbyist/enthusiast first, the business is second.  Hopefully than doesn't offend anybody or dissuade people from purchasing products from me, but that's how I started and I don't intend to change!

Positive feedback such as this only encourages me to keep documenting and experimenting.  Thanks again!

Yeah, Kelsey is awesome.  He and I are working on something right now.  I am *this* close to getting the mame hack working.  We plan on producing schematics for making a qbert knocker.  Actually, the schematics are already out there, but I suck at reading them.  Kelsey agreed to make it for me if I do the mame hack for him:)  Just a normal parallel port relay driver.  USB drivers are EXPENSIVE, though we both would rather see that.

The schematic could can control 8 relays.  Actually, if someone knew how to control do microcontroller programming you could control 256 relays since there is 8 data lines on the parallel port.  (USB would be simular) Would involve alot of hacking mame, but some relay cool custom hardware could be made.  

If someone has or wants mroe info PM me (not kelsy, he gets enough I am sure).  As this was more my idea than his, he's just being nice and implementing the hardware for me:)

Yep, I'm currently ending up with approximately $55 - without relais but 12 combined input/outputs and even 4bit-regulators on every port. (e.g. for controlling LED-intensity)
VisualBasic-Code included.

Leaves enough room for future ideas!  :)
