I've been waiting for some one to post the correct answer, but alas,
no one has yet, so I will.  Older G2000 systems had a card that served
as disk controller, serial I/O, PIO and game port.  The new VLB system
has the disk controller. SIO and PIO built into the motherboard.
SInce the only other card in the system is the ATI, which certainly
doesn't have a game port, the system doesn't have a game port.  [Note:
I do not have one, but I do know how to read and think.]
