Hi All,

        Just wondering if the old version, serial that is, not USB, of the MS Wheel
works in XP??   Thanks in advance.

Barely...

You will have to use the basic mini-driver that XP installs.

You will never have control over Force Feedback, Split Axis or the other
features of the wheel, however.  Just basic left right gas and brake.  And,
it won't work in all games.

Since Microsoft has abandoned the Gameport version of it's controllers and
their customers, this will not improve.

Microsoft's support for Sidewinder software with Win 2000/XP is absolutely
hopeless.

Sadly, true :(

They should go to jail!
