There's are production products available one that I know of is called a Manhattan USB Converter or something like that. This thread could be unstickied or replaced with new information.

The 3D-Vert threads should be unstickied too in my opinion

KB,

The "Manhattan" converter is not a replacement for Grendel's design.

The Manhattan puts the 3DPro in emulation mode, with less functionality. This should stay stickied.

Just because I was gonna stop being lazy and try to make these... it looks like the Teensy board without the pins is no longer available because they are having issues getting the boards. I did a little searching and came up with this thing. The guy that created the teensy board mentioned this company in some post where he was defending his product. Would this work? Its more expensive it seems.... Which makes me lean towards just going out and buying a new stick...

Not really. Too much work porting the firmware over. Latest version will work w/ the Teensy++ 2.0 tho.

The only boards they have left are the ones with pins... is that the one I'm supposed to be looking at anyway?
