The sidewinder used MIDI for force feedback though, for models that had that: https://web.archive.org/web/20151220120836mp_/https://code.g...

Found this page that has a list of some 10 different protocols for sending digital signals from joysticks to a gameport: https://dosdays.co.uk/topics/joysticks.php Other than the sidewinder and GriP protocols I have not managed to find any specs for the other protocols. I clearly think I remember from back in the day that using MIDI for extra buttons was a thing so it may be one of those other protocols did, or it could be that I am just wrong.

Even FF is crazy, would that force a choice between FF and GM wavetable for example?
