I need one of those with the cable still attached. Thanks!

Does it have to be a 96? And what model? If it's a 42H, we can get you one from Unicomp, I think. Would you want it in your local layout, or is ANSI acceptable?

The board has ISO layout. I have no idea, if controllers are interchangeable?

I don't think they are, directly. Given that the scan codes sent on the unused pads on an ANSI layout don't directly map to anything in Windows, I would bet the controller firmware at least is slightly different.

That said, remapping would be relatively simple.

Well it would be worth a try. You got one with cable still attached? :)

Not anymore, no. But I would be willing to proxy a unicomp purchase, if you want. I'm pretty sure that's something they would be willing to send you.
