I have been using the PDPI gamecard for a while and I love it.  The question
is, what to do when upgrading to one of the new motherboards such as the
Asus K7V.  The board only has PCI slots, no ISA slots.  The PDPI card is an
ISA card.  I find the port on my SB Live to be very jittery.

What do you folks do?

I bought a USB wheel for this very reason :-)

Thanks for the quick response Greg!  How do you like the USB wheel?  Is
there any way to hook my Thomas Wheel to the USB port?

I don't have the info at my fingertips, but there was a post here
about a month ago where someone had purchased a USB->GamePort
converter box so they could race on their laptop computer.  I
forwarded it to my brother and he bought one because he only has a
laptop, too.

I recommend going to www.deja.com and searching this newsgroup for
USB, Gameport, and adapter all in one message.

My LWFF USB wheel is great. I have no idea if you can hook
your TSW to USB. You could probably ask Trevor though.
I suspect the answer is no.
