Won't guarantee it'll work with the TM gear, but my Suncom HOTAS setup (also
has a keyboard passthrough) works fine with the CH switchbox, and always has
power to it even when it's not the selected stick. Not sure if it has all 4
ports powered all the time, but I know the #1 port is.
This thing is GREAT, especially when using the included utility to switch
between the various joystick setups in Win 95/98. This utility sits in your
system tray, and lets you switch between all your different setups on the
fly with a few mouse-clicks. So you switch from your flightsim setup to your
driving wheel simply by pressing a button on the wheel, right clicking on
the utility icon and selecting the wheel's saved calibration from the menu.
I have my flightsim setup, a NASCAR Pro, AND a Gravis Gamepad Pro all hooked
in (Rennaisance gamer here <g>) - and this device is invaluable. Well worth
the $25, IMHO.
