Here's the most detail he has: http://www.737simguy.com/OldSite/tools.htm

He posted 2 weeks ago that he's working on a new site: http://www.737simguy.com/

Considering the praise he heaps on the EPIC input controller, the website for that product (http://www.mindspring.com/~rrelect/epic/info/teaser.shtml) is, dare I say it, almost epically underwhelming. :| I tried to find out a) what it looks like and b) how much it costs, just out of general interest, and failed on both.

With 300+ buttons, I don't think it's a controller like your thinking of. So much as an interface you can attach your own buttons to.

Click on tools on his old website and then there are two links in the first paragraph that answer all of your questions.

I was really hoping he'd detail what exactly he'd put together on the technical side: what was bought off the shelf, what did he create himself etc... Hopefully more details will show up online. It's a very impressive project

I agree. I looked for other articles, hopefully there will be some better ones in the future.
