I couldn't find more information about this wheel, so I'm turning to this
newsgroup for advice:
How do I set this wheel up? It's not recognized by Win98, and the company
doesn't show up in the drivers list in Win98. Do I need generic wheel
drivers, or something like that?

I'm hoping to try it out in NFSHS, Colin McRae, and Midtown Madness.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Its a 3 axis  wheel and actually than of the better wheels you can find of
the non FF wheels

Well, I got it working (thanks to the responses in this thread), but only as
a 2 axis / 4 button controller. Are you sure about the three axis?

Thanks, it's working now (didn't realize I could use the MS Sidewinder
control panel for this...). It appears you have the same wheel, so can I ask
you this: do you happen to know what the small 'slider' is for? I'm talking
about the black***down the shaft of the steering wheel, which slides
from left to right.

Its for finetuning the pot for the wheel

PS not shure the games you mentioned will support a 3 axis wheel

Sounds like an old GP500 or F1 Sim wheel and pedals set-up? These are
actually high quality wheel set-ups and very good controllers. To set it
up do the following:

Go to the "game controllers" icon in control panel, select add, select
(custom) from the top of the controllers list.

Now select 2 axis, and select 4 buttons, and also tick the special
characteristics box, and select "is a race car controller".

Now type in a name, say F1 Sim or GP500, and select ok.

Now calibrate and test.
