Have you ever heard of a y-splitter for gameport devices that is
switcheable?  i.e. with an A or B switch on it so you could plug two
*** devices (i.e. hotas and steering wheel) into this "box" and one
cable to the computer and selectively switch one on and the other off
or vice-versa?  I've seen the straight y-splitters that are available,
but non that are switcheable.

Thanks in advance,

4 input joystick switch for $3.99.  I got it and it works great.  At
least until I got a USB wheel and joystick :)

| Hi Tones,
|   There used to be a device specifically designed/marketed for what
| you're looking for... a switchbox called "JoySwitch".  I have no idea
| if these are still made or not, but I thought I'd mention it in case
| you wanted to try a search online for the name.

If you have a local computer show, check them out.  I'd bet that one of
the vendors carries this type of stuff.

| Or you can just use CH's QuickJoy, instead of changing it in the
| control panel.

Thanks again!!
