Okay, so Chad, Merk and I tried getting the Minimaid working this weekend. We got the PC built (using Windows 7 64-bit, since we couldn't get a working XP 32-bit). The monitor works, we got the sound working (after replacing a bum audio cable), and now we're down to the last problem: the pad input. I briefly saw someone else with the exact same problem on Chad's sows account, but I don't have access to that so can't get it word for word (was on page 15 I think though of that thread). Essentially, when you turn it on a lot of the arrows seem to "stick" until you unstick them, like they will just spam kjlkljkljkjlkjljkjljk etc. via the inputs. The up and right arrows on
both pads do not work, but we have the face buttons and other directions working okay. I assume this is a wiring problem, but here's what we all tried:

- This setup, though against what the manual says, is the only one I believe (and I might have to recheck to be double sure) that does NOT have the "sticking" problem. The up and right arrows still do not function, but I don't
think it did the khjhkjhkhjkh spam stick.

- This is what it should be from the manual I assume, but the issue persists.

- We tried removing the bridge plugs from the back panel of the 573 and switch them. The error is the same. Did we do it right? We plugged the 1P into the 2P bridge connector (so it goes orange to white, for instance).

- Same thing, but now moved on the minimaid pin connectors, similar to first two pics.
The only thing I didn't try yet is white to white / orange to orange on bridge and then into the minimaid.
This is the only other picture I took to ask a question, but the picture is pretty bad:

- Chad was wondering about the dipswitches. I had tape over mine, and they were all down. We put #2 up (we assumed clicking it up meant on, not off), and everything else on the whole thing is down. Is this right? We knew that 4/5/6 were monitor related, and since the monitor was working we didn't mess with them. Do dips do anything for inputs?
Chad/Merk, please feel free to add anything I'm forgetting.
