[sdiy] Ensoniq patent,

[cheater cheater]

Dragon,
very very interesting. Do you have any information on the patent?
Patent number maybe?

Also this reminds me of a Logitech Wingman Interceptor joystick which
i took apart in the late 90s and it had 2 metal plates attached to the
lever (might've been 4, don't remember now). Those plates were angled
towards the pcb, and when the lever was fully swiveled the plates
would pretty much be flush with the PCB. the PCB had a zigzag etched
on it in the place where the plate was. Could that have been the same
technology?

Cheers
D.
