| mey:
is there any way i can use a 15 pin joystick through the parallel port? i already wired everything up and i wanted to test it out but the computer that i got didnt have the port. i was wondering if i could do this and use like sneskey or something. thanx mey |

You ought to just look for an inexpensive sound/game card (pricewatch has some that start at $4.00 shipped). It will be alot less work doing it that way than trying to rewire it to the parallel port (if it can even be done), or using an adapter, if available. |
| Lilwolf:
There are also gameport -> usb adapters out there. These will probably be easier to configure then adding a second sound card that isn't as good.. and disabling everything BUT the game card. |
| SirPeale:
You can get dedicated gameport cards (heck, I've got one) but I've only seen them in ISA flavors. I'll have to second USB as well. |

15-pin Gameport to USB adapter How about $6.99 and you get a free joystick as well? :D http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=FSDAGP-TR&cat=JOY Scott |
