the ground and away I go... unpluging the opto pcb's in the machine
and pluging them into the box is too much work, want to make it easy,
so easy he can do it....

Just a thought, but does your friend have the strength and dexterity to
mess around with connectors and plugging stuff in?

You know, its weird, most people out there dont think like I do, not
because they dont want to, just they dont need to... I want to make
it custom for him to use, and easy to use.

You're not the first to come up with this. I think it was either Data
East or Sega that customized a few games (cutaway cabinet, sip/puff
tube modifications) for somebody in a wheelchair. Others have shown
up here in rgp over the years.
