Its strange I only have one gameport choice "standard" with the MX400,
but on my other machine which has the MX300 I have two choices
"standard" "Monster II Port".
No matter how I calibrate the TSW or my regular joystick I get the
"wiggles" Its almost like spurious emissions are interferring with
the gameport.
Digital is definately the way to go, but TSW don't make a digital
wheel. I'll have to runn HEAT on my 400 system until I get the 800
sorted out, hopefully with the PDPl gameport card.
Thanx for the help !!

My TSW and joystick work great on my Celeron 400 system.
Both running same version of Win98

great, except the joystick port. I load up Heat or N3, then attempt to
calibrate my joystick or TSW2 under Control Panel/Game Controllers and
the calibration cross is wiggling all over the screen.
I uncheck poll for interrupts then tried calibrating again, same
problem, calibrating cross is wiggling around the screen.
I then decided to run some practice laps, get in the game and the car
is erractically steering all over the track.
I have uninstalled and reintalled the gameport several times under
Device Manager. I have even swapped out the sound card (MX 400) with a
SB 16, still same problem.
I decided to pick up a dedicated gameport card hopefully this will
help.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanx

That might do it. Try to get one that is speed adjustable. I had one
and everytime I upgraded to new cpu I would redjust it. I would get
what you describe if it wasn't set right. The for sure solution is to
go digital/USB. But, that will cost you.
