Gents, not having a USB port, I don't know the answer to this: Is is possible for my brother, who has a P3 with all the trimmings to somehow get both a wheel and another gamepad in for two player? He's using two Gravis Grips at the mo, but he wants to get his son behind a wheel at the earliest opportunity, but still wants to race against him. Any and all advice welcome, I'll pass along to him. If it isn't the USB/Gameport way, then how? -- Colin Harris Bomber Racing: Http://fullspeed.to/Bomber ICQ 25485061

If your question is specifically related to USB connections, then ignore the rest of this reply :) I'm no expert, but the game port supports 4 axes, so a joystick y-cable will allow you to hook up two 2-axis joysticks to one game port. This would require that the pedals on the wheel unit have the brake and accelerator on the same axis. "Colin Harris" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:f1Tq5.8689$[email hidden]...

Two gameport wheels with NO split axis (brake and throttle on same axis) connected thru a "Y" cable onto the gameport will do. (of course you couldn�t use more than two buttons on each joystick (A and B), no hats or additional buttons) lito * Sent from AltaVista http://www.altavista.com Where you can also find related Web Pages, Images, Audios, Videos, News, and Shopping.
