Well, now that this is all complete, there's always more that can be done, whether it be adding new items or improving old ones.  I'm in no rush to do any of these, but here's a list of things I'd like to tackle at some later point:
  • Add a real trackball and/or spinner.  I've purchased the Hagstrom ME4 dual Trackball / Spinner interface that plugs directly into the PS/2 mouse port, which would make interfacing these relatively inexpensive and add an extra level of
    playability to many games!
    * Update 3/26/2001!  I'm purchased the Hagstrom ME4 and a spinner...still working on an arcade trackball.  Now I just have to find the "heart" to disassemble my machine for enhancements!  I've also gotten an Tron joystick that I have to figure out where to install (thanks again, Uncle George!)

  • Completed 8/20/2000!  Different joystick for 4-way games.  I just didn't like the Happs Ultimate for playing the good ole' 4-way games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.  The leaf style joystick from Wico was definitely the way to go!

  • Swappable panels!  Of course this would be the ultimate solution to the above two items I'm considering above, but would take some substantial time (and extra $$$) to get it all done correctly.  Who knows... :-)
