Has anyone noticed this? I had a GP1 that was old and used the
converter/adapter to calibrate in Win95, buy not in DOS. I just bought a
new one and it doesn't have a converter/adapter and calibrates in Win
95, but now I have to use a converter/adapter to calibrate on DOS.
What's up? I thought that with the newer wheel that I wouldn't need the
converter/adapter in DOS, or at all.

BTW the converter/adapter did not come with the new wheel, I had to dig
around for the old one.

Thanks,
ZZ

The converter moves the paddles to the same joystick as the wheel
(joystick 1) as the older GP1's had the paddles mapped to joystick 2.
This caused problems with Win95 games, so TM just decided to make the
newer models of the GP1 & T2 to have the controls on the same joystick
device. If you reconfigure your DOS games, you should need to use the
adaptor, but you are welcome to if you want.
