I recall some time ago a GPL site said they had a special deal on the PDPI L4 control card. Does anyone remember what site this was ? Thanks Phillip McNelley
Chips and Bits has the PDPI for 79.99 The discount offerred direct was 90 bucks I think . Chips and Bits a good outfit. Steve Paradise

Thanks Bart for passing the URL on. http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl [address restored] - go to the PDPI link in the top-left frame, or from the link on the main page for info on the L4, including reviews and links. Btw, the deal I made with PDPI with the Passwords from my site was as follows: ONLY $80.95 for the L4 w. 2 channels or ONLY $90.95 for the L4 w. 3/4 channels Shipping is only $4 for continental USA & Canada, or $15 International (Prices in US dollars) ---- I don't believe Chips & Bits can beat that - besides the 3/4 channel adapter is only $10 more - even PDPI is advertising it on their own site for $109.95 !! Btw, I received my L4 in 5 days here in Toronto, Canada (PDPI is in California) - and it was stuck in customs for 2 days - so that's pretty fast for only $4 ! doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl [address restored] (Look for my page to be listed on a PDPI ad in Computer *** World's January issue - available early December!!) >Chips and Bits has the PDPI for 79.99 The discount offerred direct was 90 >bucks I think .

Will you let us all know how this device works out. I have been looking for one for a while now. Everyone I try out, I loose some functionality with it. I need a device which will support a NAZ wheel, joystick, and a FUTABA nine channel RC radio. The radio will use an interface to an RC flight simulator. I fly competition precision aerobatics in the summer months and really could use a device which will allow me to connect all of the above. To bad its ISA, A PCI box would be sweet.

I received my PDPI L4 yesterday and GPL works fine, but no major fps increase. So far in Nascar2, the only way I can get my TM Pro wheel to calibrate and to keep the game port from going on and off while in the game, is to get behind my PC tower and flip the switch. Which is a pain in the ass. After switching the switch, it does feel a little smoother, but lap speeds seem the same as before. I have a AMD K6 200, Asus TX-97, 64 megs SDRAM, Thriller 4 megs. I have an E-mail into PDPI. I'll post the outcome. It could be just a minor fix. Jim

Ok, PDPI had a quick reply and they said that N2 is the only Dos game they know of, that has a problem with the PDPI L4 card. We'll just have keep switching the switch on the back of our PC's until N99 comes out next month. Also if you race Nascar2 on Ten, there is no problem with the PDPI card working with the NROS Enabler. I've tested it in several races and it worked flawlessly. The only down side to it, is switching the switch on the rear. But it's only temporary until N99 gets here. On fps, the jury's still out on that. Nascar2 does seem to be smoother though. Jim
