UPDATE: Analog Joystick Mystery

[Brad]

Hi,

Thanks to William (and others) for his suggestion, but the file,
"ESS_Dos_config.zip" he suggested I download, did not
"recognize" the ES1788 in my laptop. It "applies" to a later
version like the ES1869.

However, I found "1678DOS.EXE" (self extracting zip file) on the web.
Sorry, I lost the location. This solved my problem. I simply launch
"ESSCFG.EXE" and select "6" (menu) and then "enable" the joystick.
Note: This "ESSCFG.EXE" also "recognized" ES1788.

Thanks again to everyone who responded to my post.

Brad
