multi-configuration stick/wheel for acm card

by a71.. » Wed, 15 Jan 1997 04:00:00

I recently installed a TM acm card but cannot seem to configure it to
use two controllers. The setup in win 95 is ok, but I cannot seem to
make joystick #2 (t2 wheel) the current controller. If any one has any
advise to how I should set this up let me know.
Thanks. KR

AFAIK, the ACM isn't designed to work that way.  It's meant for simultaneous
use of two joysticks for games being played on a PC by two people.  I have the
same card.  In an attempt to be able to utilize both my joystick and my T2
(not at the same time) without having to reach behind the computer, I bought a
JoySwitch switchbox.  While it's handy in dos, I can't get win95 to allow me
to calibrate the T2 (and I've tried several different things).  I've given up
trying and have decided that win95 sucks as a game platform.
