I wish I could remember where (I think it was buried on Sierra or Sierra
Sports Web Site somewhere), but I read a Faq that stated outright that
N2 would not work with Digital Joysticks or Controllers.  It explicitly
noted Nascar Racing 2.

Is it possible that some sound cards have a feature that gets around
this by converting the digital devices signals to analog before passing
them on to the programs?

I use a SoundBlaster 128/PCI.
