You can get yourself a joystick switch box. The one that I own is called a JOYSWITCH. It is a manual switch box with 4 main joystick and 2 pedal controller inputs that you can switch between. It costs about $35US and I have only seen them mail order. CH Products has also just come out with a joystick switch box that is about $20 and might be carried at your local computer stores, so you could look around for that one.

I have my Thrustmaster NPW plugged into the gameport of my SB64 card. Works perferct in win95 and dos. Unplug it and plug in my MS Sidewinder 3d Pro joystick. Works perfect in win95 & dos. I do not have a separate game card. I want to have them both hooked up so that when I switch from N2/GPL to EF2000 I do not have to unplug the wheel/pedal set and plug in the joystick. I tried the "Y" adapter from the stores that allows 2 "joysticks" to be plugged into the same game port but this does not work with the wheel/pedal set I guess since it is a "midi" device?? The SoundBlaster manual states that a "midi adapter" may be used to plug in a MIDI device & a joystick at the same time. COMPUSA (two in San Diego) have no clue what I'm talking about....imagine that. If anyone has defeated this issue, or if anyone has any suggestions...please e-mail me. Thanks for taking the time.
