I was wondering... I just gotten a MS wheel which seems pretty good, but I
would like to keep my joystick hooked to, so I was wondering could I use a Y
adapter to hook both up at the same time?

No.
Buy USB stuff.
Screw the gameport. :-)

A Y adapter won't do it for you, but CH sells a product called a Joystick
Switchbox that allows you to leave everything hooked up and select the
controller you want to use via software. The problems happen when you have a
digital and an analog controller connected at the same time, the switch can't
handle that. My buddy has been using one for a year now with great success, but
still has to unplug everything else whenever he uses his Interceptor.

You can build a switchbox yourself if your handy. It wont change using
software but you can change it by flipping a switch you attach to the box. But
i wouldnt attempt this unless you have a good understanding of schematics and
soldering irons.
I am using a Logitech Wingman Formula Force USB and a Xterminator in the
gameport at the same time. I think this is possible because of Logitech's
software.

Finally got my Logi (USB) working simultaniously with a
gameport-extension (two standard joysticks).
I don't know, what I did right, but i suggest it was:
1. Logi as ID2
2. install the Microsoft Standard Gamedevice (add new hardware/non
pnp) for the extension
3. switched of the gameport of my SBLive in Control panel/multimedia
(NOT in control panel/system)
Hope this helps
