Hello everyone.
I am new to the world of retro computers. This is a hobby that I recently fell into after picking up a Leading Edge 286 clone from a local thrift store for $20. However, I am afraid that I have got myself in way over my head.
Ok now down to the nitty gritty.
The pc specs (to the best of my knowledge) are
Leading Edge Model D2
Cpu: 80286
Ram: 640k
Bios: Pheonix Rom Bios Ver 2.01
OS: MS-DOS 6.22
I picked up a sound blaster ct1470 off of eBay and I installed and configured it using this YouTube tutorial
The card appears to configure itself with no issue during boot up. I have tested the card with wolfenstein and lhx. The sound works fine however the game port does not seem to be working. I have tried a Logitech Wingman, Gravis Blackhawk, and an old Gravis 3 button analog joystick that I had lying around.
I am hoping that this is something as simple as merely using incomparable joysticks. Which is entirely possible because as I said this is all new to me and I really have no clue what I am doing. I don't even know where to begin in troubleshooting this problem
Any help you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated.
