no... what exactly are you soldering HDD connecters (ISA, I'm assuming?) to HDD connector and keyboard doesn't compute.

I'm guessing he's using a hard drive cable as a loom.

Bingo.
I have many male/female 20x2 pin connectors on hand. Seemed the easy choice, being a cheap ass 'n all. Soldering any type of decent wire size to encoder board isn't a good idea, and ribbon gauge seems just bout the limit. This is a nice translation medium, and provides a disconnect.
ipac = $40. this = $3.

Don't you run into issues with ghosting and/or jamming, though?

Not that I've ever noticed. Not the hardest-core of gamer though.

Is the cable itself a 40 wire or 80 wire? The 80 wire was made to get rid of (to some extent) the ghosting/crosstalk issues allowing the mind blowing ATA 133 speeds

Pretty sure he was referring to ghosting due to the cheap keyboard encoder, not the cable. :-)

That's a virtual pinball table he's a making. Very few inputs, so I doubt ghosting will present itself.
