- Some older games also have problems with higher speed computers, even
- if the interface works. The soundblaster, alas, does *not* have a high speed
- interface. You can get a cheap joystick interface card with a manual
- (dip-switch) based speed selection for about $25 or so - maybe a bit more if
- you want software control or auto sensing. I would guess this would most
- likely fix your problem.

- Be sure to disable your sound blaster card joystick interface if you put
- in a second card - check your manual for jumper settings.
