>The ACM drivers should be in Windows. As luck would have it, I have an old
ACM card, manual and disk stuck on the shelf behind me. The instructions
for installing under Windows95 in the manual are as follows:
Windows 95 notes
Windows 95 directly supports ThrustMaster ACM game cards. The initial
release of Windows 95 supports the ACM game card operating as the standard
IBM game card with additional joystick addresses.
Adding an ACM card
1) Double click on the My Computer icon.
2) Double click on Control Panel and then double click on System.
3) The window will show a series of tabbed "cards." Click on the tab
labelled Device manager.
4) Scroll down the device list until you see Sound, video & game
controllers. Click on this item.
5) If an ACM game card is already entered under Sound, video & game
controllers, skip to step 17.
6) If another game adapter is listed, highlight it by clicking on it. Do
this even if you know that the port is disabled.
7) Click on the Remove button, and confirm the action by clicking on OK.
8) Go back to the Control panel and click on Add new hardware.
9) Click on the Next button, then on No (if you click on Yes, a lengthy
hardware scan will be done). Click on Next again.
10) Scroll down to the Sound, video & game controllers again and
double-click on it.
11) Under Manufacturers, select ThrustMaster and then click on the Next
button.
12) Windows 95 will install the support software for the ACM card at this
time. When the software has been installed, click on Next again.
13) Click on the Finish button to complete the installation process.
14) You will be asked to shut down the system. Click on Yes.
15) Wait until a display appears to tell you when it is safe to shut the
computer down. Press the RESET button on your computer, or shut the power
off momentarily.
16) When the main desktop appears, do steps 1-4 again.
17) Double click on the ACM card under Sound, video, and game controllers. A
window with a series of tabbed cards will appear. Click on the tab labelled
Resources.
18) The Input/Output addresses should be 0201- 0201 on one line and 0209-
0209 on the other line if these values are not listed, then go down to Basic
Configuration and select 0 from the list of values to obtain these
addresses.
19) After confirming the addresses, click on OK.
20) The ACM card is entered into the system configuration.
Hope this helps!
BTW, if you want the files from the disk (testing utilities mainly), let me
know and I can e-mail them to you (185k zip file)

Does anyone have any drivers for the thrustmaster acm game card? My gameport
on my soundcard has un-installed itself when i installed its new driver, and
cant find the gameport driver anymore. Because of that my LWFF USB wont
work, even though it doesnt use the gameport, but oh well. Any help would be
appreciated
