I had one of the first Thrustmaster HOTAS and the second (second called F22, I think). They came out in the 90's -- next one to release was the USB Cougar. Both of those old 90's HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick) had lots of programmable buttons. They were great at the time of release.
Both were gameport, I think (but, may need correcting on the F22). If I remember, both would handle Windows 95 if you can get the drivers today (assuming you can get a used HOTAS -- I finally pitched mine in the trash a couple years ago).
