They work fantastic!  Saves a ton of time over building your own chips.

Just modded my coregrafx, they work fantastic. Save me a lot of time over the 8pdt push button switch I 've used in the pass. I will mod my turbografx and turboexpress next.

He hasn't responded to emails or anything.  I've redrawn an IC schematic to have some made.... the cheapest cost per unit is around $2 each (no ICs, just the board) and that's buying 66 of them for something like $116 shipped.  I've held off ordering them for two reasons though... one the 4551 ICs seem to be a little troublesome to locate at the moment, and two because thesteve has designed a better single IC design that can also be made switchless if desired.  I'm thinking I may draw up that design instead.  I'll let everyone know when it happens though!

I'm also looking to pick one up once you get them made :D  I've got a Turbo and CoreGrafx, but it'd be nice to consolidate.

It involves holding a button like select while powering on.  This is nice for the turbo express but maybe not so much on a console.  This same design can use a switch also.

Havent got them produced yet, I'm still finalizing a design.  I'm trying to make one small enough to fit right by the hucard connector on a turbo express.  I'll update when I have more info!

Will the boards work in any tg/pce?  If so they would be great for a core grafx so you wouldn't have to drill any holes.  I'd be interested in picking one up when there ready.

I was thinking that all the way through, glad you figured it out!
