N2, Win 98, Thrustmaster ACM Gamecard and T2 Wheel Setup

3 posts by 3 people · 04 Sep 1998 - 05 Sep 1998

Hey guys, I have a little hardware problem I was hoping someone out there could help me with. I have an Abit LX6 motherboard, PII 266 processor, and a thrustmaster ACM gamecard. On port 1 of the game card is my flight setup. Port 2 is my wheel setup. Problem is port 2 doesn't work. Does anyone out there have any idea as to why? I haven't been able to get it working properly. I do have some type of joystick switching device, but it's a piece of doggy doo. One last question, what is the URL of the website with all the cool N2 add ons? Thanks, Russ

N2 requires the joystick to be on port 201, or at least have that available in the I/O Range. Check the resources of the game card in the device manager. One of the two ports on the ACM will have an I/O of 201. probably the first one. That will be the one you will need to use for n2. I do not have any experience with game cards but as far as I know, both ports can't be on 201. Good luck! Chris "I died for you...

You won't be able to use port 2. Almost all games today utilize only port one. If you want to use both devices you'll have to switch between them. Too bad about the doggy doo switching device.
