Game Cards

I want to be able to connect my Thrustmaster Wheel and
a basic-ish joystick (2 axis, four buttons, hat switch) to my PC in a
way that allows me to map them to different controller
numbers in Win 95. ( I.e. a simple splitting device like
a Quickshot J-link will not work).

So I guess I need a dedicated game port card in an ISA
slot. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks,

Steve

Steve; PDPI is suppose to be the best. Here is the site:

Then of course Thrusmaster & CH-Products make one but I'd suggest the
PDPI
All are ISA.. I believe??

I have just got a thrustmaster game card (30)  and it works fine and it  is
more sensitive than the game port built into my monster sound card

I bought a PDPI board, it is an ISA board, you can connect four joysticks
to it (the big version accepts 8!), it is digital and is filtering your
signals as well, thus making your input signals rock steady and less
twitchy.

And last but not least, it doesn't use your CPU at all, so your CPU can
be better used where it should, for instance, simulating other cars and
stuff.

And it is flexible! You can use pots from 10kohms to 1 mohm, you might
have to tweak a few registers, but it is very flexible.

I am not a salesperson, I'm only extremely happy with my PDPI...
