I. Installation
    This driver is for use with Windows 95 only.  Place the
    Saitek 6-button Driver Diskette into your disk drive and 
    execute the SETUP.EXE file.

II. Uninstallation

Follow the steps below to uninstall the Saitek 6-button Game
Controller driver:

1. Go to control panel ->Game Controller, remove the "Saitek
   6-button Game Controller".
2. Click the "Start" button at the task bar. Select "Programs" ->
   "Saitek 6-button Game Controller" -> "Uninstall Saitek 6-button
   Game Controller".

III. Dual Game Port

In DOS analog mode a standard dual game port can support maximum
4 buttons and 4 axes such as:

1.  Two 2-button joypads/joysticks for a two player gaming.
2.  Single joystick with 4 buttons, analog throttle and rudder.
3.  Single joypad/joystick with up to 6 buttons.  In this case
    the 5th and 6th buttons use up the 3rd and 4th axes of the
    dual game port.

The Saitek 6-button game controller belongs to the above 3rd kind of 
configuration. The 5th and 6th buttons use up the 3rd and 4th axes 
of the dual game port.  Please refer to the user manual for calibration
routine under Window 95 joystick control panel.  The Saitek 6-button game
controller use a standard 15-pin gameport connector.  It works in analog
mode if the Saitek 6-button driver is not being installed.


IV. Windows 95 Games

Unlike DOS, Windows 95 controls all the system interface. However,
the generic driver comes with Windows 95 supports only 4 buttons.
So, for most of the Windows 95 Games such as FIFA 98 will not natively
support the use of the buttons on 3rd and 4th axes and hence you
need to install a customer device driver in order to have more than
4 buttons functioning.

In order to serve customer better gaming experience, we provide this
device driver. With the help of the device driver, you will have
extra buttons supported under Windows 95 properly.

IV. Error Handling

1. There is no Game Controllers icon at the Control Panel.
   
    At Control Panel -> System, select the page "Device Manager".
    Expand the "Sound, video and game controllers".  Check to see
    if there is any "Gameport Joystick" entry.  A joystick port
    is a must for a joystick to operate.

2. There is no "Sound, video and game controllers" entry at the
   "Device Manager" page.

    Check firstly that the sound card has been installed proper-
    ly.  For some motherboard with build-in sound device, user 
    has to enable it through jumper or BIOS setting.

    Check secondly if drivers for the sound card has been in-
    stalled.  If such drivers have not been installed, a message
    "Unknown device" will appear.

    There is  also possibility of resource conflict.  In most of
    the cases, I/O range for joystick port is 0200-0207.  You can
    check this out by select "Computer" and then select "I/O" to
    list all the I/O resource usage.
                             
    When there is I/O conflicting with the joystick port, you can
    select the conflicting device within the device manager and
    then select its "Resources" tag page. Please refer to the
    corresponding device manual to select a new I/O range for
    your device.

3. For those who are not using Plug and Play sound cards, try 
   the following to install your sound cards.  

   a. At Control Panel -> Add New Hardware, let the system to 
      search if there is any new device to be installed.
      Remember to check for any resource conflict as some non-
      plug-and-Play device may cause conflict unnoticed by the
      system.

4. The system keeps saying that joystick is not found.

    Make sure that you have the most updated joystick port 
    driver.  You may try by removing the joystick port at
    Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager.  Reboot the sys-
    tem.  If your joystick port is plug-and-play, it will prompt 
    you to install or just install automatically.  If your 
    joystick port is non-plug-and -play, you will have to install
    it manually.  Finally, make sure that you have installed the
    DirectX driver properly.  At the time this readme is written,
    DirectX 5 is required.
