I am building my MAME controls and want to have a I-Pac encoder and a Oscar spinner (PS/2, serial port variety) and a mouse for using the computer with, has anyone tried this or will it work? I read on the Interface page where you can hook 2 mice in Win 95/98 (which is my OS) and was planning on doing this configuration setup and using the spinner within MAME and the mouse in WIN 98. Of coarse both the spinner & mouse will not be used at the same time. Has anyone tried to do this configuration without using expensive Y-splitters as the USB mouse only runs about $9.00, Wouldn't this setup work, eliminating the use of a opti-pac or such?? Any help is appreciated, Thanks Matt
