Hi All,

  I've got an old copy of the Descent-2 demo formerly used on a Win98 
desktop. What would be required to play it on a WinXP laptop w/o a gameport? 
My first thought is that some DOS drivers would be needed for the USB 
Logitech gamepad, or is XP supposed to be able to handle this on it's own? 
Thanks,

        Steve

You can play D2X-XL (www.descent2.de) using the D2 demo data. D2X-XL is
a modernized OpenGL version of Descent 2 and runs on WinXP. It supports
USB input device.
