How to configure two separate CP into one computer?

The USB addressing 1 2 3 4 will guarantee that the #1 board will always appear as Joystick 1 no matter what order it is plugged in. If you had two #2 boards, they would both work, but the computer will randomly assign them as joystick #1 & #2.
Crazy Cooter:
Ahhh.
So the #1 board is always #1. The other numbers can be anything. Wouldn't there only be a need for two board types then? A dedicated #1 and a "floating" #?
markrvp:
That should be right. If I were ordering 2 at the same time I would just get them addressed as #1 & #2.
I've got a GP-Wiz 32 #1 and a GP-Wiz 49 #1 and that is an issue. At the time, I thought I would never use them simultaneously, but I do use them both in some configurations. I wish I had ordered the GP-Wiz 49 as a #2.
Crazy Cooter:
I mean even on Randy's end. If a #2, a #3 and a #4 function identically, why even offer the #3 and #4?
