I finally got my I-Pac today. Thanks Andy!!! I hooked it up to my temporary control panel. The CP is the one that came with the game. One working 4 way LEAF joystick, and eight buttons. I used the existing wiring, and in about 15 minutes, discovered I completely hooked up the joystick wrong. Rewired it... Wrong again... GEEZ I'm starting to feel stupid. Hooked it up CORRECTLY this time.

Worked perfectly. I must say it was very easy to hook up. If you want an encoder, go with the I-PAC. Well worth all of my shipping problems.

The only other problem I had, was the pass through keyboard port. The keyboard I was using was a piece of junk I had laying around. It worked, but not with the I-PAC. I switched the keyboard, and it worked. That's what you get for you using scrap parts...
