(Incidentally - didn't Matrox used to have a forum? I swear I have recollections of a forum...I remember discussions over Call of Duty 2 and Matrox attempting to make Parhelia play with DX9. I'm going to assume they never did. Or I hallucinate/dream about computer hardware...] Indeed there was. It …

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. akula65, that would be extremely interesting if the Microsoft adapter was exactly identical...

Just for the sake of argument explain then, why in all the moon walk footage you can't see any stars in the sky? The moon has no atmosphere to interfere with the transmission of starlight, so the stars should be even more clearly visible than they are here on Earth so where are they? dude the lunar …

No problem! I'd recommend that if you are building your own x86 emulator test suite that you look to other CPU emulator test suites for broad inspiration: I have copies of Gwenole Beauchesne's GPL-licensed M68K-Tester and PPCTorture / PPC-Tester and their test results, though that might be still …

You might try a USB to Parallel controller vs the PCI card; it looks to have a USB port (and you should be able to use a hub if it needs >1), and it'd leave the PCI slot free for whatever (SATA, faster Ethernet, WiFi, etc). I will add that I've had mixed luck with such adapters in the past though - …
