I have the "Notebook GamePort" from Colorado Spectrum which works fine with
Doom,
IndyCar Racing, Flight Simulator 4. etc. and plugs into the serial port. The
trouble with it is that it realies on software support in the game, so you
need
to check support for every title.
I have since seen PCMCIA joystick cards cheaper than I paid for the GamePort
and
of course they have the advantage of being 100 percent compatable (I assume)
because they just look like a normal joystick card to any game.
