Has anyone ever got one of these working using a gameport to USB adapter?  A
(PC newbie) friend of mine got one from Ebay, but could not get it working
under XP.  Tried to scour the internet for XP compatible drivers to no
avail.

No problem, I thought.  I'll just stick a copy of Windows 98SE on a separate
partition, load the drivers from the CD supplied and he can use the 98
partition for all his *** needs.  Unfortunately it still wasn't
recognised in the control panel despite tinkering with every option
imaginable!

The wheel works OK on a PC with a gameport as he set it up no problem on his
father-in-laws machine.  However, like many modern machines, the gameport is
now omitted :-(

Any ideas?

TIA
