Mine wouldn't work at first.  I have a SB16 and had disabled the game
port in order to use a standard 2-stick port on another multi-IO.
When Win95 installed, it assumed that my port on the SB16 was the one
of choice. 

To get it working, I went to Device Manager and looked under Sound,
Game Adapter and removed the Gameport device.  Then, I added a new one
using the MICROSOFT/GAMEPORT generice driver.

All works well now!

Good luck,
jimmy
