Well I just read that one message about the Voodoo2 being crippled by a bad 2D card and MPS suggests getting a new 2D card. They probably intend for people to remove their current 2D card and the V2 card to get a V5 5500. No patches planned sounds good though doesn't it? -- [email hidden]

Anyone using a USB wheel (meant for W98) under W95 with working USB drivers? Tossing up whether to go this way or install W98 (v.evil) and whether the software for the wheels will still work ok. Also, what is the problem with GP3 and Voodoo2 excatly? I've a PII 350 8meg vid ram.

My LWFF worked great with Win95/USB. It was a little tricky to install with the LWFF 3.30 drivers (the installation program seemed somewhat allergic to Win95 and didn't really allow me to install the wheel with USB support without some tricks with a special LUsbSYS.drv file) and Win98 would be much easier.

I have found Win98 to be a nice upgrade to Win95, I use Win95B at work and have since it came out, at home I use Win98 (non SE, but have the disk) and I can see the improvements with 98. I would also recomend that you do a clean install of Win98 and do not upgrade over an existing Win95 install. My reasoning on this is that if you upgrade your Win95 to Win98 and 95 was not 100% correct, then you now have a problems being compounded by 2. I could be totally wrong about that, but I do notice less problems with clean installs. I would try the wheel on 95 and see, if no go then I would install a new Win98.

Could you get more specific about that trick? TIA Zolli

You can find information as well as the necessary file LUsbSys.sys (not *.drv as I mistakingly stated in my first entry) at: http://www.wingmanteam.com/Latest_Software/Win_95_Patch/win_95_patch.htm If I remember correctly I had to copy the sys-file to the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers directory when the installation program reached the point where it is time to restart Win 95. The WingMan site says nothing about this, but I remember vaguely the system having difficulties to recognise the wheel connected to the USB port if I did otherwise. I know I installed and uninstalled a few times before I got it right. Of course you need the USB-supporting version of Win 95. OSR2, 4.00.950B I think it is. Stefan Zolli wrote:
