- I've had experience with two GW2K systems - a 486/33C and a 486/33E.
- Neither system had an actual game port on the back of the computer, but
- both have them internally on their I/O boards. It was a matter of
- getting a 15-pin ribbon cable with a DB-15 connector on the end and
- plugging it it. Castle Wolfenstein 3-D is MUCH better with a joystick!
-
- BTW, I've had quite a long relationship with GW2K tech support. In the
- past year, I've replaced my motherboard twice, replaced my video board
- three times, and spend *hours* (it might even add up to _DAYS_) on the
- phone.. on HOLD. Even considering that, I still love my system. (Oh, I
- got a new monitor, too.. *sigh*)
