F22 pro

The F22 Pro is TMs top stick. The stick feels like someone ripped it out of a real F22, with a steel base and a glass filled handle and much stronger springs than ANYTHING else out there. The stick is able to hold a number of config files in memory at the same time! This is a great help if you are constantly switching between two or three simulations.

TM ACM Game Card

Speed adjustable game cards are the only way to get reliable performance on fast Pentiums. Not only do they use better quality components that are better able to stand the temperatures generated in a busy box, through adjustment to the CPU speed they offer more predictable performance with less spiking. Both TM and CH make a speed adjustable dedicated board.
