Thanks.

I have tried many wheels, and although "keyboard tray compatibility"
isn't a primary concern, it is something I have always looked
for...and have yet to find.

The MS Wheel is very stable when mounted and very easy to
mount--easier than my Nascar Pro which this is easing out of the
picture.  It is not, however, capable of sharing space with any
keyboard tray I've ever seen.

Sorry.

Great wheel, though: I'd recommend buying it.

Also, be advised that the MSFFW will not work with N2, and there is no
way it ever will.

Also, instead of using a serial port for the force-feedback commands, MS
has chosen to use the actual midi signal lines built into the joystick
port.  This can be problematic for some people.

The software (sidewinder 3.02) causes sound stuttering problems with my
Creative Labs SoundBlaster 128/PCI.

On the good side, the pedals are absolutely fantastic.  The best pedals
I've seen so far.

The force-feedback works well.  As well as the game designer allows it
to work (Viper is awesome.  NFS3 sucks).  MTM2 is great when I can get
thru a game without my Monster II card*** up on it.

However, I decided it wasn't time for me to have one of these.  I
returned it today and bought a new TM Nascar SuperSport, which for $79
is the best buy in a wheel today (IMHO).  It is much improved over the
Nascar Pro, if your not a purist and don't mind paddles for gearshifts
:)

The MSFFW is a digital device.  Nascar 2 will not work with Digital
controllers.

MS says so, NROS says so, and so does Sierra.

Since it would not work for me, I kinda too their word for it :)

Technically, a VxD is involved in the above, but it is sometimes easier to
conceptualize it if you think of the controller doing the delay.

For most DOS games the above works pretty well.  Papyrus tried to improve
the efficiency of reading the port on Nascar 2.  This threw off our VxD as
well as a few other wheel's VxDs.  I've met most of the wheel people out
there and they all had some issues with N2.
