Unless you can change the port settings on one soundcard you will have
to get a Y-cable to support 2 joysticks.  Please keep in mind that you
will only be able to use 2-axis 2-button joysticks with a Y-cable.  If
you have a SoundBlaster soundcard, be warey about picking up any old
Y-cable.  I had to buy mine from SoundBlaster ($30 CAD a few years back)
because the one off the shelf didn't work.

And my S3 Virge card, apparenly, doesn't support two joysticks at all. You
could certainly try the Gravis Pad pros, though..they'll work with
everything ('cept Win 98, of course, you have to download a patch first...)

For my old Soundblaster16 I had an inexpensive card with 2 joystick
out. Worked fine. My new Soundblaster live doesn't cooperate any more.
I'm sure, there's only some address or interrupt or ... changing
needed, but no particular idea, how to.

BTW If anybody knows, please help
