Thinkpad 370C
Dock I with joystick port on SB16 CT1770
PCMCIA Sound Canvas SCP-55

The joystick works fine normally, but as soon as I run SCPENA.EXE to enable the SCP-55 it's no longer recognised by any games.
SCPENA says that it's taken port 330h only, but it seems to also be stealing 200/201h from the joystick.
I'm using the IBM card & socket services, maybe I need to explicitly exclude the joystick port addresses.
Also need to try Cardsoft card services to see if it's any better.
Just wondering if anyone else has run across this.

All good now. I just needed to exclude port 200/201 from card services using the (undocumented?) /PX switch on the resource map utility, DICRMU01.SYS.
