Hi.

I acquired a Gravis Phoenix stick, but I can't find the DOS drivers anywhere in the net.

Can someone help me with this? Maybe take some floppy images from yours and send them to me, please?

Cheers,
Rita Graça.

Obrigado! 😉

I'll give it a try.

Any chance for a User's Manual?

SPR you're a life saviour!

I actually installed the DOS software and configuring the joystick is quite straight forward. I though it would be something like the FLCS!

Unfortunately, I found out that the "soft" buttons are a bit non-functional, that is, I need to press them hard to make them work! 🙁

Apart from that, the joystick seems ok.

Cheers,

Any tips to revive the rubber buttons?

I sprayed some graphite on the contacts and that seemed to do the trick!

But only in the buttons on the joystick. The ones on the base, seem more troublesome, i.e., more screws to unscrew, possibility of tension springs jumping about, etc...
