Hi JF,
Thanks for the response! Seems that the adapter is the most likely point of failure then. I've ordered the same converter you've been using. Hopefully that's it and Win7 won't mess it up. I do have an XP machine, and one with a joystick port too. I can test on there but I'd rather use this machine for writing.
Thanks for posting the part from the manual, my manual has been long since awol. Still not sure I follow it, but hopefully once I get everything working I won't have to worry about this too much.
Thanks again,
Lance
