The joystick connection on the back of the Montego II Quadzilla also
serves as a MIDI port. The optional cable available from Voyetra Turtle
Beach, allows you to have both a joystick and a MIDI keyboard connected
to your system.

If you want to connect a joystick to the Montego II Quadzilla, the sound
card and its drivers must be properly installed in your system.
