Upgrading these days are leaving behind legacy ISA slots. I am in the
upgrade process and hate to lose my PDPI gamecard (ISA) to the PCI gameport
on the SB Live.
Has anyone been faced with this dilemma and discarded the PDPI gameport for
just the SB Live, and been happy with the performance?
The CDS4000 just can't be beat for game feel and performance (forcefeedback
are toys) and coupled with the PDPI , its just fantastic. Just don't know
what performance loss there may be with the SB Live.

I'm using the SB Live gameport with my ECCI and have no complaints.
I've never tried a PDPI card so I can't compare, but I do have a
Thrustmaster ACM card which now sits on the shelf.

My 4000 is hooked up to a Monster MX300 and I can't imagine what improvement
there could possibly be in connecting it any other way. Precision control with
no spiking at all. I did notice a HUGE difference when I went from an SB16
(ISA) to an SB64(PCI). The Monster was then a slight improvement from the
SB64.
