Problem With Game Controllers

I have a Microsoft Gamepad, and a Microsoft Force Feedback Wheel. They are hooking up in the back of the computer thru the panel MIDI\Game Port. I also have a Phat.Boy MIDI controller running thru there. The Phat.Boy hooks up MIDI (obviously) and has a thru option for me to plug in my game controllers. Next I plug in my gamepad then i can plug in my Wheel into an extension on the game pad. When I add the 2 in the game controllers option in Control Panel it says that only the gamepad is connected (and the phat.boy is read connected in MIDI options).

How can i get them all connected?

Thanks for your help,

I had a similar problem. Some older games wouldnt recognise the Sidewinder Precision Pro under DOS. I had a Thrustmaster connected to teh game port and every time I had to play this game I had to switch from USB to Gameport. So one fine day I went shopping and found a tiny store in San Luis Obispo selling a Game Controller Switch for 24 Bucks. I can now connect 4 devices to this and what more is that it only take a reboot to enable the proper device (actually we could do it without a reboot, but i was not sure anycase).
