Does the joystick work with ONLY the SoundBlaster card installed? If yes, then there's a hardware/resource conflict.
Do you really need ALL those cards in one system? (I'm a fine one to talk... I had 4 back in the ISA day!)
YUes, the SB port works in all those systems I've tried the ACE in after it's removed
If you want to build a killer DOS game box you need all these cards...trust me

Have another GUS conflict issue, a Gus Max rev 2.1 I have disables my COM1 port in one of my 486 based PC's
