Don't buy any thing from Guillemot ever. I bought a force feedback wheel
that connects to the serial port and now I'm stuck with running Windows 98
or ME and not 2000. They won't support it or make a driver for 2000. I'll
never buy anything made buy them.

What type of wheel do you have? The Guillemot/Thrustmaster Ferrari FF Wheel
that I have uses either serial or USB and does have Win2K drivers. If it's
USB ports that you are lacking then you can buy add on ports to plug into
you motherboard.

Actually it uses the serial port. Guillemot emailed me back saying they
would not be making a windows 2000 driver.

No no, the question was which Guillemot wheel do you have? The current
flavour of the month is the Ferrari FF wheel which supports USB and Serial.
So what do have? It must be pretty old!! In which case Guillemot probably
won't support it. Anyway does W2000 not support serial connections?

Andi.

According to Guillemot they no longer support it. The wheel is the first
feedback wheel. I bout it new last year. It's not even a year old.
