Joystick problem
« on: Saturday 30 December 06 14:16 GMT (UK) »
Hi.
Got a problem with a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro joystick.  It has a 15 pin connector for the computer but I find there is no such socket on the computer to take a 15 pin connector.
I have found advertised a 15pin to USB adaptor, but the small print says not suitable for a Microsoft Sidewinder.  HELP!!!

Hi

You will need to obtain a DA-15 PCI soundcard that has a Game Port on it.

See the article below for more details.
