These are the sites that I purchased parts from, found advice, or found useful during this project. |

Ultimarc |
http://www.ultimarc.com/ Home of the I-PAC keyboard interface. Great parts, great quality, great prices, thumbs up all the way around. |
Fry's Electronics/NewEgg.com |
http://www.outpost.com/ | http://www.newegg.com/ Fry's Electronics is a great place for computer parts. Their website is fine, but if you can get to a store, GO! If you're dead-set on ordering computer parts online, I heartily recommend NewEgg.com. NewEgg.com has fast shipping and good prices. |

http://www.mame.net/ Where would we be without MAME? This site features tons of information; everything from the programming side of the emulator to tweaking it to get the best out of games. |
