Is it possible to use two different joysticks in Windows 98, not
simultaneously that is?

My problem is this: I have a MS SideWinder 3D Pro, but I also have a
pair of Gravis' Gamepads (and a splitter cable).
The SideWinder works fine, but I can't even install one of the
Gamepads. The Joystick list in Control Panel keeps saying "Not
connected" when I try to add a Gravis Gamepad or the generic "2-button
Gamepad". What's wrong?
