My old computer worked fine with both the PowerRamp and MITE daisy chained. I'm now thinking that the problem is from the keyboard or maybe PowerRamps don't like ATX systems. I've tried using only the MITE gamepad connected and I haven't hacked it so at least that should work. I might have to switch to a SideWinder. I'm replacing the big PowerRamp with a KE72.
: I have one PowerRamp and two MITE:s. I plannet to use the MITE:s as a interface hack but I have changed my mind and will use an I-PAC instead.
: My PowerRamp is working fine but the MITE:s are a bit "sticky" at times. I once tried to daisy chain the two of them and I then got the same result as you describe. ActLab told me that I can't daisy chain two PowerRamp:s because the power from the keyboard interface is not enough for two of them.
: I think there is a difference between the PoerRamp and the MITE:s where the PowerRamp is the best of the two. I also think that the PowerRamp and the MITE:s migth go insane when there are not enough power to feed them from the keyboard interface. But this is just my guess...

: : I have a problem with both my PowerRamp and PowerRamp Mite. Both used to work well with Quake 2 and other 3D games in my old PI 233 but when I got a PII 266 the control started freaking out. It gets stuck moving forward and won't stop, the computer is also beeping away indicating too many keys are being pressed I guess. Anyone else had this problem?
