Has anyone got experience with the gameport -> USB adapter from sitecom for
a steering wheel, e.g. TSW2 with standard DK pots?

I purchased the usb adapter from TSW to use with my TSW2 modified. I have
an older model and needed to replace/down grade my pots to DKs. Works
perfect. If i recall my orginal pots were 100 ohm.

I haven't used the one you mentioned, but have used the USB-NEST converter (I
forget the name, but it's turquoise) and also have a radio-shack one: Model
06A03 (zero, not letter "o").

The USB-NEST converter worked fine with my Thrustmaster SS 2 wheel, but I
haven't tried the Radio Shack one with it. Both are 4 channel converters with
"wheel" as one of the options.

Hope that helps.

I would have ordered the usb adapter from TSW itself. But I live in Europe
and I think shipping costs are about the same as the costs for the adapter
itself ;-)

The adapter I want to buy also has 4 channels. Thanks for the info.

The adaptor I think you guys are looking for is a Rockfire.
Do a google search and you'll find it. Many places sell it cheaper then
Thomas. I think you need to run 250k pots with it also.
