Update: I can confirm that the Genius MaxFire G-09D I posted on the previous page DOES work in DOS, because I now own it. (Hey, I had a 20% off coupon...)
The D-pad, analog stick, and wheel thing all act as the same axes, and buttons A & B are mapped to 1 and 2. I don't think profiles you program in the Win98 software "stick" for DOS use, but I haven't tested it very thoroughly.
This thing originally came with a power supply that daisy chains through the DB15 connector, but it doesn't seem to need it? Maybe there are sound cards out there that don't provide enough power, but on the AWE64 & Ensoniq AudioPCI/"Creative SB128" I tried it worked fine with no extra power. Also, after some digging, I managed to track down the driver software for it & a bunch of other Genius controllers and uploaded them here.
