DOS classic gaming hardware

[JackOfTradeZ]

Does anyone know where to get some old DOS gaming stuff, in particular game controllers using serial port, not USB?

I am trying to configure a couple old systems for Descent and Carmageddon. Got the Voodoo2, sound and grafix working, but that pesky USB is invisible in DOS!

Sure, just get on some forums that have trading sections, there are a million of them, but 2 good quality ones i know of are at anandtech and tech imo, you can google them, join up, and i guarantee you that you will get what you want shipped straight to your door, without fail!

Try retail store for serial or game port connection.

The game controllers were mostly integrated to the sound cards. I think that all the Soundblasters had the game port.
And, right, there are no DOS drivers for USB game controllers.

You can also get the game controllers separate from sound cards.

Why not use the keyboard/mouse?
