My setup is similar to Clark's. I'm using a SoundBlaster 32-PNP on a
Pentium-166. I haven't experienced any problems that are
supposed" to happen with fast machines (i.e. needing the special ACM card).

-Each game usually has a special setup routine for steering wheels. Check the
game documentation for details.
-Your T2 should have come with a 15-pin white adapter. This allows those
ports that need it to accept dual joystick input. Some games will require that
you use this adapter, and some will not need it. (ie. The Need for Speed
requires it, NASCAR does not)
-Finally, I've found the joystick port will just not work with some game
titles. (Particularly "Screamer") When I try it on one system using the sound
card port, I only get gas/brake. When I try it on another system using the
same T2 but use the game port, it works. Their tech support agrees with this.
Every other game that advertises T2 compatibility I've managed to make work.
Good luck.
