In Reply to: Okay guys, I'm going to take your advice and go with the IPAC. One question before I order... posted by Alienreb on January 29, 2002 at 02:30:07:
When you say connect to your motherboard, I assume you mean directly. Then no.
You will buy an I-PAC.
You will connect all the switch grounds to the I-PAC ground screw terminals
You will connect each signal wire to the appropriate screw terminal on the I-PAC
You will TEST TEST TEST with a multimeter
You will mount the I-PAC in your cabinet somewhere
You will use PCB standoffs if you're mounting it to a wood shelf or in the CP
You will plug a PS2 or USB cable (depending) into the I-PAC and the other end into your system
You will be happy (if you hooked it all up right)
You will be posting again (if you didn't)
The I-PAC turns closing switches into key scan codes, effectively turning your CP into a keyboard. No mods to the computer required.
And on the seventh day, Andy rested. (hopefully this glowing review will get my my order faster *G*)

: Will I have to attach this thing to my motherboard or what? How does it connect the HAPP control wires to my PC? Thanks.
