Here'a a strange one for the technocrats.....a friend of mine has just
upgraded his machine from 4 to 8Mb and is now having 'problems' with the
joystick port config. Prior to the upgrade the joystick was plugged into
the sound card and setup in software, also the gameport on the multi I/O
was enabled!!. Now the gameport on the sound card is very very slow in
operation and in some instances the software will not see the joystick,
but when the gameport on the soundcard is disabled the gameport on the
multi I/O works OK. He has one hard drive and an IDE CDROM. I suspected
that the two port were competing, but when the gameport was disabled on
the multi I/O it made no difference. The setup has been like this for 11
months and worked perfectly well until the ram was upgraded. I am open
to any helpful suggestions........
