N2, Win 98, Thrustmaster ACM Gamecard and T2 Wheel Setup

Hey guys,

I have a little hardware problem I was hoping someone out there could help
me with.  I have an Abit LX6 motherboard, PII 266 processor, and a
thrustmaster ACM gamecard.  On port 1 of the game card is my flight setup.
Port 2 is my wheel setup.  Problem is port 2 doesn't work.  Does anyone out
there have any idea as to why?  I haven't been able to get it working
properly.  I do have some type of joystick switching device, but it's a
piece of doggy doo.

One last question, what is the URL of the website with all the cool N2 add
ons?

Thanks,
Russ

N2 requires the joystick to be on port 201, or at least have that
available in the I/O Range. Check the resources of the game card in
the device manager. One of the two ports on the ACM will have an I/O
of 201. probably the first one. That will be the one you will need to
use for n2. I do not have any experience with game cards but as far as
I know, both ports can't be on 201. Good luck!

     You won't be able to use port 2. Almost all games today utilize only port
one. If you want to use both devices you'll have to switch between them. Too bad
about the doggy doo switching device.
