???Using a joystick like Microsoft sidewinder force feedback pro (with a normal gameport) and a normal Trust pedals (with the same port) I cannot use them toghether, on my FS98.
I heard someone saying that some specific device shall be used to make them work togheter: is anyone aknoledged of the problem and let me know any solution?

Thank you for attention.

I'm only shooting in the dark here, but I think any mainboard would only support one single gameport device, or is it possible to add another soundcard with another gameport and run multiple gameport devices?

Or is it possible to "hardwire" the two devices thru a single port, possibly using a "splitter" adapter?

I know people that have used a splitter..

Also it should be possible to add another inexpensive sound card with gameports on it..

Also, there is a Gameport to USB adapter out there....;-)
