<p>As for interface, I have a load of arcade buttons and joysticks plumbed into an ipac mame board. Does the job very well. I am using advance mame to build a bootable disk image with the roms. This saves me the worry of hard disk and switch off at the mains.</p>

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently – they're not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” — Steve Jobs</div>

I have an old Mistubishi Diamond Pro 710 (NFF8705STTKW) 17" (actually measures 16") that has been in a cupboard for about 5 years but still works. I was planning on chucking it sometime soon, because I'm never realistically going to put it to any use.<br>
<br>Works fine with my old laptop, but causes my new laptop to reset for some reason!? I did have to wire a new VGA plug on it at some point because the original one went funny - I forget how now, but I decided it was just a loose wire and a new plug seemed to sort whatever issue it was I had at the time.<br>
<br>It's yours if you want it.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Robert.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Wiltshire mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Wiltshire@mailman.lug.org.uk" target="_blank">Wiltshire@mailman.lug.org.uk</a><br>
