Ah, sorry for that. The beep means short circuit. Okay, so I don't need to have powered +5V on my electronic breadboard, turned it off. Verified measurement on both joysticks...it still works :-D It is this joystick: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/joystick-logic-3-terminator-jt273/ …

measure pure resistance, test values at extreme positions, compare with fully working joysticks Ok, I verified it with Quickshot. Quickshot joystick works and will show resistance. So the issue is that the faulty joystics beeps with short circuit error and have infinite resistance. But it shows …

According to this: https://hackaday.io/project/170908-control-fr … t-basic-circuit ...the X and Y axes should be measured with the meter connected to +5V and X axis instead of GND and X axis (as for button), right? Otherwise it might require a pull up resistor present.

It is from Europe warehouse, boxed and sealed, stored in dry professional warehouse environment. Capacitor could age, but resistor? I'm not sure. Anyway I measured this: 1) Button 1 can measure both voltage and resistance 2) Joystick 1 axis X - can measure only analog voltage (3V to 4.6V and 4.6V is …

I made progress!! Bondwell B-120 is the same as Quickshot QS-102 card. There is no driver, only Win95 readme. I am attaching manual here. It is non plug n play card, so you add it manually and need to change default resource from port 201 to the second configuration 200-207 (port range). Then it …

- I have Bondwell B120 and the switch changes the number of samples in JOYCALIB.EXE DOS. So it does affect something and it might be a cure. - ISA sound cards cannot do it. But this one is for two joysticks, so you cannot use 4 buttons or FCS clones It would be interesting if Goldstar or Winbond ISA …

INTERACT High Speed PC GAME CARD - you can adjust speed from 4.77 MHz to 100 MHz....so that would be maximum for these very old joystics Now I would be interested how to run it at 200 MHz

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! I bought this card, it contains switch for clock speed: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/quickshot-qs-120-deluxe-joystick-453920204 So I believed this card would be a solution for Pentium 1 processors. These joysticks probably need 486. On the …

First I bought this Firefox 2nd hand. So I thought, the computer is too fast and maybe it is for 386 or 486 specific bus. But now I bought this Logic3, which is new from regular e-shop, they keep old stock and they still have like twenty of them. So it includes warranty and returns. But this one has …

Yes, it is the Honey Bee. I even bought Interact ISA board gameport controller for 2 joysticks with switch for Low / High bus speed for gameport. Only to realize that it cannot be used for 4 button joystick as one port support only 2 buttons per spec. And I know Sidewinder gameport have this issue …

In Descent 1, DOS, it stops moving as well for left and top. Down and right are ok. And the first joystick is brand new - new old stock, so it is not hardware failure.

In Windows game, it will disconnect and button is not working. When moving back to center with stick, it will be enabled again. In DOS buttons are working all the time, even you put the stick at the edge. But I noticed that samples per second will fall from 700 to 80 only. This might answer the …

Hi, I have 10 joystics and 4 computers. I found this issue with two of them. In Dos, joycalib,exe works and you can see the min and max values. In Windows, everytime I move the stick to upper top or left border, it displays this disconnected & retry popup. I hit cancel and it still normally works. I …

Is your response time in real life as good as using mouse and keyboard? If not then I suggest that using mouse and keyboard is cheating. You shouldn't be able to turn and aim faster than you can turn and aim in real life. Adding realism to a game usually means making it more difficult. Or maybe the …

How you guys get Win98 chipset driver? The slipstreamed Intel INF on MSFN is only up to ICH9, yet you are running ICH10. I'm also interested in Socket 754 and 939 for AMD.

But sometimes there might be issue that ACU (Aironet Configuration Utility) version does not match the driver. So I would like to get exact match for Win95 and Win98 and get release notes in pdf and documentation in pdf. It is quite difficult to set up everything manually and then it just says: …
