That is what we have done......one vital thing that I omitted to mention
is that for games installed on the HD there are no problems at all, it
is only games that are run from the CDROM that cause the problem with
the joystick port on the sound card. I initially suspected that with the
two gameports enabled they were competing, as the CDROM in connected to
the IDE port on the Multi I/O and then on to the sound card. :^{(
