[simpits-tech] Multiple joysticks

[RickInNoCal at aol.com]

I'm not sure about interfacing more than one 
joystick-port device with Win98SE. I guess I'd have to get a DB-15 to USB 
adapter as I only have one game port. Is there anything special I need to do 
to get something like that to work or would I just have to plug it in and 
calibrate it?

You can buy a joytick port to USB adapter, there's even one that takes four 
joystick port inputs and outputs one USB output. The problem is that these 
adapters tend to be very low discrimination - typically only 32 or 64 steps full 
range. 

While the simple electronics of the joystick port look attractive, you're 
better off buying some cheap USB joysticks and gutting them rather than using 
joystick ports.
