Anyone in possession of original Gravis docs please help. I would like to attempt repairs and recalibration on a Gravis Analog Pro joystick. 4th button is out of commission and I would like to know how to dismantle the device (if possible). + I assume calibration is done with a screwdriver as well...? I do not want to, well, screw it up instantly... any hints ?

There are small holes on the bottom and right edge of the base, inside these are small screws that adjust the X and Y rest position.

I've taken apart a classic Gravis Analog but not the Analog Pro, I assume they're quite similar inside. There are some screws on the underneath of the base that need to be taken out. I wouldn't worry about breaking anything as these are built like tanks. Just watch for flying parts as there are springs and ball-bearings inside 😈

Are the drivers for this joystick available somewhere?
I cannot get it work in DOS. In Windows it is detected and works as a "4 button fllight yoke with throttle" or "Gravis Analog Pro".
I attached it to a CT2940 PnP card. The joy port is initialized at port 200 in DOS by CTCM.

No drivers needed, just plug in and play 😀
