I got my I-PAC and Optipac. Hooked both of them up. I have 1 and 2 player 8 way joysticks, 6 buttons to each player. Trackball and spinner hooked up to the optipac w/ 2 mouse buttons. And I have player1&2 buttons, 2 accessory buttons, and 2 pinball buttons. Got everything hooked up with quick disconnects. Have 2 daisy chains for the grounds. One covering the 1 player side and one covering the 2 player side. Everything worked on the first bootup (minus the joysticks being backwards...not a big deal) I pounded on this thing for over a week with no problems. Now comes my problems. For whatever reason, I get random problems with the player2 joystick and 1 button. Basically the keys just start going off. If I open up wordpad it just spews out the letters coordinating to the joystick and the button which is the "X" key. I am pretty sure that all my connections are good. All I need to do to make it stop usually is to unplug it from the computer and plug it back in. If it is a connection issue which would more likely be the cause...the ground....or the NO connection. I don't know how to troubleshoot this thing. Any help would be appreciated
