Trio Linker + DC Arcade Controller Problem

[nebulus]

Greetings and a happy 2007,
I'm having trouble getting the excellent Dreamcast Arcade Stick to work with the trio linker. I installed the latest 4.0 Drivers (for Win 2k) for the trio linker plus.
I do not own the plus version but the racing controller and the standard DC pad work perfectly well. As soon as I connect the Arcade stick it isn't even recognized by the system. (No feedback at all to buttons or stick movement).
I'm using a european version of the Arcade Controller.
Would be really great if you could help!
Thanks in advance!

Hello nebulus, Happy new year

Well, we haven't tested the "excellent Dreamcast Arcade Stick" before, but seems it is not compatible with our Trio Linker. We are sorry that this in-compatible problem could not be solved by upgrading the driver. Thanks.

Well, I don't know if I put that right. I was talking about the official Sega Arcade Controller (HKT-7300). The one you have listed among the controller options. So I thought it should have definitely been tested by you and the driver should be able to handle the device ;-).
The controller is not a third party product of some kind.
Only difference might be that mine is from europe.
Cheers from germany and thanks for your reply!

P.S. the word "excellent" might have been a little misleading. It only reflects my opinion of that great piece of hardware! So sorry for that!

Hahahaha ;D no wonder I cannot find that "excellent Dreamcast Arcade Stick" from google.

I also own this arcade stick, it's the best Arcade stick I have ever seen.

Well, Trio Linker is NOT compatible with this Sega Official Dreamcast Arcade Stick, that's why we release the Trio Linker Plus.

To use this Arcade stick in PC, you may consider to use our Trio Linker Plus. Thanks
