I calibrated my home built setup in win98 using the generic joystick drivers.
In control panel select the joystick\gamecontroller icon and then add a generic
joystick that matches your setup (or alternately create a custom one). I have
separate brake and throttle axis so I use the 3 axis 4 button joystick. You
should then be able to click on calibrate and follow the instructions. Once you
calibrate you can click on test to check the calibration.
If you still can't get win98 to see the controller it may be due to which axis
you are using. Win98 seems to look at the Y-axis to see if there is a
controller connected. For example I had to move my wheel pot from joy B X-axis
to Joy B Y-axis in order to get win98 to see the 3rd axis. If rewiring is a
problem you may be able to trick it by placing a suitable resistor across the
Y-axis.
Hope this helps (I can't comment on how this works with GP3 as I don't have
it).
