T2 and Joystick

Is anyone aware of a device or system that would allow me to switch from a
T2 to Joystick without having to plug and unplug.  I use Nascar2  probably
70% of the time, but it sure would be nice to throw a switch and use the
joystick for other things?
Thanks Jack

Called a Joyswitch. Got mine from FlightSim.com for about $40. Well
worth it. I habe a FLCS/TQS, Nascar Pro Wheel, CH VPP/ProPedals, and
two Sidewinder Game Pads connected.

I have a joyswitch as well.  I love it and got it from EggHead Computer.
What I haven't figured out is how Win 95 works with switching joysticks.  I
have to set the switches and reboot.  After the reboot I go into control
panel and redefine the joystick.  This is a pain in the butt.  Is there a
faster way?  Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Doug

Well, you sure don't have to reboot every time you switch controllers.
Just switch it, and go into the Game Controllers (if you have DX5
installed) and make sure it's picked up the device you're using.  It
depends on the controller...it will automatically pick up MS joysticks
like the 3D Pro or MS Sidewinder, but for steering wheels and stuff
you might have to choose it from the list.
