RE: Help required using alarm outputs to create log/send email etc

["James,Daniel" <Daniel.James@xxxxxxx>]

Umar,

Just a thought - the quickest way to sort the gameport cabling is probably
to buy a joystick extension lead, and cut off the plug you don't need, that
way you don't need to solder the plug, and could use terminal blocks for
connecting the switches.

Regards

Daniel
