Thanks, Goy. I saw the act-labs shifter after posting my message but
then read a review on techtv's website. They seemed disappointed by
the lack of support for the shifter.
Have you had any experience with it as an add-on?

Fraid not, I do own one, but it's sitting on my shelf for the time being
as I really don't have room for it on my desk right now and my trusty
old Thrustmaster Nascar PRO wheel has a basic shifter
I'm planning to build a***pit of sorts at some point and the shifter
will part of that :-), I have however opened the box and done some "dry
runs" :-), and it feels very good, with a slightly notchy, but positive,
action, bit like you'd expect from a shifter in a racing car I suppose

I plan on spending a lot of time with "F1 Challenge '99-02" once the
wheel arrives (this week - I was cursed with a birthday of 9/11.
Wasn't so bad 'til a couple years ago).
