I have had both a joy and wheel (both were sidewinders by MS but my Joystic
was gameport and wheel was USB) plugged into a 98 machine back when, I
noticed that 2 things would happen from time to time.
1 The wheel would not be "controller #0" in computer (or #1 in human
thinking terms) by default, I had to "set it" somehow in the Windows COntrol
panel "game controler" app (not in Sidewinder?).
2. half the games found the regular joy instead of the wheel if both were
plugged in (papy sims not withstanding) But since I rarely played much
other than Papy games that used the wheel back then... it didnt matter.
but for MTM2 I would unplug the joy when I wanted to use my wheel.
It has been loooooong time, sorry I cant be more accurate. I got rid of the
gameport joystick got a cheapo USB joystick never had a problem since...
