Does anyone know if it is possible to convert a game port TM wheel to USB?

Just upgraded systems and don't have a game port.

Thanks

Tim

Hi Tim

Yes there is. Try the RockFire  game port to USB adapter. I have one and it
works very well.
Follow the RockFire USB link at the following page

If you're running Windows XP, Tim, I'd investigate first to make sure TM
supplies USB software for the wheel.  Only "basic" support for game port
devices in included in XP since the industry for the most part doesn't write
the necessary *.vxd formats any more, and unless the software supports the
adapter-type connection to USB, you're not going to get any additional
calibrations, etc., by just moving it over.  It would probably be easier to
purchase a USB controller.
