Can anyone verify this or give comment to the difference in these wheels.
Obviously, they are now priced quite differently and I could use the extra
money if there is no reason to spend it.

Strangely enough, I was able to configure for three axes, finally, using
only Windows' Control Panel. Don't know how I did it, but after using the
TM software and configuring it for three axes, I unloaded the TM software.
Then, almost miraculously, after starting Windows' CP again, I found that it
worked, the third axes showing up on the vertical bar as the accelerator.
This is using Windows ME, BTW.
