Just to add to the confusion, the final official patch you refer to is apparently the US (domestic) patch, but there was another version available for International users as well. View this page in the Wayback Machine to see the reference to the two different links on the LucasArts FTP server: …

I have the EA Classics CD-ROM version of the game included in Racing Mania rather than the original CD-ROM. The game installs and runs properly in my Win7 32-bit system with a GeForce 210 card, although Windows does report that it is changing to a basic color scheme during the intro videos. The …

When I saw the thread title, I assumed it was a facetious reference to LucasArts' Armed and Dangerous since I had never heard of Armed & Delirious. As you say, it was an obscure release.

Hmm this router seems severely limited in what settings you can see. There seems no way to set a list of valid MAC addresses even on so-called advanced settings. It's one supplied by the ISP when I changed to fibre-optic. If you don't see your other wired devices listed, then you don't need to …

Another factor that might be relevant has to do with your router and its capabilities. Does the router support MAC address filtering, and is that turned on? If so, did you add the 3COM MAC address to the list of valid MAC addresses?

Ah! I have one of these Logitech Wingman Digital 3D joysticks with the passive gameport-USB adapter around and always meant to investigate this. However, I have no way to test the signals/pinouts. That's great! Just check and see if it has the same Logitech part number that I indicated above. It …

A couple of other things I meant to mention in earlier posts: 1. You said that your network cable is known working, but you didn't mention how you determined that. The reason I mention this is because you might be seeing a straight-through vs. crossover cable issue depending on exactly what …

What happens when you ping the loopback address (127.0.0.1)? If you can do that, then you are probably good on the software side of the networking.

The connections in your PIN ASSIGNMENTS diagram exactly match those in the gameport-to-USB converter included with my Logitech WingMan Gamepad Extreme.

Bear in mind that Mau1wurf1977's thread and drivers that you referenced in the original post were intended for DOS users, not Windows users. So you need to acquire actual Win9x drivers for your Ensoniq or Creative card (depending on what you actually have).

According to those who write the specifications, there IS more to it: http://www.midi.org/techspecs/electrispec.php Note the date on the diagram. The specific opto-isolator components mentioned may or may not be available, so you might need or want to substitute a more modern replacement.
