Great to hear you got it working, and thanks for the info on which drivers work.

Right, persistently "Connected" means that the stick has entered Digital Mode and should be working fully.

I still have no idea what the upper bound is on the driver set. Most people who provide feedback are using systems slower than the fastest that I used for development. Don't jump to conclusions based on a handful of the drivers. You need to go through them systematically. It's tedious, but there is …

I don't know if there were different localized versions of PAW Gold, but apparently MicroProse did release different versions of the CD-ROM. There is a MicroProse file (pawgcd.zip) that is supposed to fix an issue if your copy had a particular volume label. Here is the README.NEW file from this fix: …
