Heres what Art has to say and also have attached the plugin.

Hi Guys:

New dev version PoKeys.m3p is in the files section for testing. It will accept
up to 7 encoders, but is untested in that regard. It uses new firmware that you
have to download from poKeys ( PoKeys55) ..

When turning on encoders, you must set them to port#10 in MAch3, and the
encoders used must be numbered from 1 - x in order in the plugin. In other words
if you turn on only #5 and #6 which are MPG encoders, then you need only
encoders 1 and 2 turned on in the pokeys. You dont need to turn on 6 of them and
then only use #5 and 6.

Again, untested except for basic IO. Analogue's .. up to 4 .. are read as well
if available and put in the same spot the G100IO uses ( registers 124 - 127 )
for use by brains. The analogue inputs are all 16 bit.

No analogue out has been added, Ill add that in future when the current encoder
tests and analogue input testing is complete.

Thanks,
Art

Hood, I'll probably have to ask Boris about this but do you know if there's a way to update the Pokeys Firmware without having to be connected to the internet? In other words, a separate downloadable file?

Thanks,
Dave

Just spoke (emailed) with Boris, he said you can just download the software and that's it.

Good to know Dave, thanks.
 I have been too busy soldering up circuit boards the last few nights  to set the pokeys up with an encoder but hope I can tomorrow evening. Have you tried it yet?

No sir, not as of yet.

I've just been swamped all of a sudden with my "side job" work to even setup the new software, let alone connect an encoder that doesn't even exist

Just tried the one that Art posted on the Yahoo group and it doesnt work for analogue or MPG. I will try the one posted on your site and see if that helps.
