Is anyone using this wheel on a PII 450?  It worked fine (for an analog) on
my Gateway P5  100 but Win98 will not recognize it on my new Gateway PII
450.  Any Ideas.  I will be looking to replace this with a FFB wheel soon
but wanted to test the gameplay of some of my new programs on this p.c. with
this wheel before I went out and dropped $180.00 on a Microsoft FFB wheel.

Thanks

Mike

Will the computer recognize it in a DOS box (try using TMScope)?  If so
then it is more than likely a problem with the setup of the soundcard's
gameport in Windows.

I havent tried it in dos.  I am now using a Microsoft Sidewinder FFB
joystick which Win98 recongnixes no problem.  I will try the dos route, but
any other ideas based on the fact the the sidewinder works fine?

Thanks
