Edge 3D only if you never use a wheel!

Edge 3D only if you never use a wheel!

I am ready to yank my Edge 3D because it will not work with the
Thrustmaster T-2. (or probably any other wheel) When you plug it into
the Edge 3D port, the pedals don't work. There is no way to disable the
port on the Edge 3D (it has no jumpers) so you can use the Thrustmaster
ACM card.

I got this info straight from a call to Diamond Tech. Before buying,
make sure you can disable (with jumpers) any joystick port on the card.
....Unless you do not ever want to use a wheel.

Note: I think I will need to replace the sound card too, because the
Edge 3D was my high quality sound in WIndows. DOS uses my other card,
which isn't as good.

Doesn't your sound card have a game port in it?  I have an Edge 3D, and
I use my "DOS" sound card for my Virtual Pilot Pro (which I use for
ICR2).  It works fine for me.
