And Frenzy, can you put your town in your profile? That way we can tell if someone's local to you..

Any other choices? I wouldn't suggest ordering anything from LOR directly right now. I ordered a USB converter from them about a week ago and it still has not even charged my credit card or emailed me any kind of info saying it shipped. I will wait until the week of thanksgiving before I give up on them but are there any other options out there, retail preferably for last min pick up? Ideally if I can get it somewhere else I would prefer just to cancel my order with LOR as they seem way to overwhelmed right now.

I found a good one here:

I actually bought one off E-bay for 20.00 for another project before I got into LOR. when I bought my first controller, I pulled it out, wired it up - it worked fine.

I THINK I recall hearing LOR is half duplex, so if you have one iwth A+B, you short those together.
My adapter only had half duplex so it wasnt an issue, but the above link supports both.
