Mr. Toad! I trust you had a good evening with Rude, and enjoyed the Chateauneuf du Pape.

I'm in the same boat - Have an MSW Precision Pro game port job - plugs into my Creative sound card. It's OK, but no longer supported by MS and the drivers won't work with W2000 or WXP.
I'm going to get a
Fox2Pro USB when I upgrade my PC. I have only 2 USB ports on this mobo, and they're both taken. Yes I know I could get a USB hub. I could even use the USB port which would fit in a PCI slot, but doh! - lost the interface wire.

Not sure what other (if any) USB devices you have, Mr. T. But I would endorse what has been said here: USB is da bombe - no more buggering about with IRQ conflicts etc. Everything installs and runs smoothly. No fuss, no feathers.
One word of advice: Sorry if this sounds like teaching your grandmother to suck eggs, but many people fall into the same trap. When installing your USB device, do not plug it in until prompted. Insert the supplied CD
first - and let the driver installation program start up. Plug in your USB device only when prompted by that program. Otherwise, Windows will detect your USB device, and start installing
its own drivers for the device. You don't want those drivers, and you don't want to be nannied by Windows!

You want the proper drivers as supplied by the product manufacturer.
Let us know how it goes. I wish you many hours of stratisfying furballing! I'm sure you'll turn into quite a lethal LA7 pilot.
