I stumbled on a brand new, never used, factory sealed 1999 Gateway computer (monitor included). It's a P3 500 MHz complete with an ISA slot. I used to have a PDPI L4 gameport card but it no longer works. I still have a set of CH Products 15-pin controls (joystick, throttle, pedals). I want to bring this baby back to life and believe I will need the PDPI L4. If anyone has one or knows where I might find one I would really appreciate it. Currently there's nothing on eBay that I can see.

Thanks

I think it is like the old Gameport cards that Thrustmaster used to sell. I may still have one but don't know if it works or not. I will look through my old boxes and see; the last time I did I found a bunch of old cards still in static bags unopened.

I have a Thrustmaster ACM game card (ISA slot). It worked when I pulled it out of my system 20 years ago...

Maybe you would be better off converting the CH Products to USB using something like a bodnar board or this set up http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3899105/MMJoy_Build_your_own_USB_contr#Post3899105
