[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Joysticks and Intface Cards for PCs

jimr@hprmokg.HP.COM (Jim Ranlett) (11/27/90)

Hello.

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations as far as Joysticks and
interface cards for a 386-20 PC.  I have one card and 2 sticks now and have
mixed results with performance on my system.  I believe my backplane clock
speed is 10MHz.  I dont know if that is too fast for the joystick card I have
or not.
I believe how the joystick reacts is also software dependent, but I'm wondering
if there is a good solid card that works well with several joysticks (I have
a Kraft and may look into a Gravis) and works well in a 386 (20MHz) system
with a backplane speed of 10MHz.
Any comments will be appreciated!

I'd still like an amiga to play games with, but for now my 386 is all I can
afford to support!

The CH Flightstick is the best joystick for the PC. It is the stick of
choice of the flight simulation jocks on Compuserve GAMERS forum.
I replaced my Gravis with a Flightstick and never regretted it.
