No, wait... clamp a piece of scrap wood on top of the CP first, sandwiching the overlay.  Holesaw through the sandwich.

It's a metal CP (Galaga style), and the problem is the heat during the drilling bubbles the polycarbonite and the vinyl. I've tested it on scrap before. So ya, some exacto work will probably be required if I do it.

you need a greenlee hole punch, find a used one on ebay for cheap

Oh, metal CP.  Whammoed is right.  No heat, no drilling, no bubbles.

You still have to drill a 3/4 inch hole to use the hole punch unless you have a press you can use.

The older models are something like a 3/8" pilot hole for that size punch which is likely the style you will find cheap on ebay.  Either way, go slow with drilling the pilot hole and you should be fine.  Use a step bit for the pilot hole and go one "step" at a time.  ;)

I just ordered a TurboTwist 2 slave as I have an optipac in my cab, I take it the master one just includes the interface board so will a slave be ok through the optipac? I also chose USB1 as the device number as It'll be the only USB peripheral plugged into the motherboard.

Cheers.

I could have sworn that up in the thread a ways Randy said the optipac wouldn't be quite the same as a master.  Anyone else?

You needn't worry about USB device number for a slave configuration.  The store isn't smart enough to use logic for the options.

I haven't tested the device with other interfaces, so full-performance can't be guaranteed in that configuration.  But as far as actually getting it to work, moving a jumper or two on your interface or adding a couple of resistors might be necessary.
