Logitech Formula Force + W2K

Hi All, Has anyone used the Logitech Formula Force ( original red wheel ) on the serial port with Win2K ? The NEW Logitech web site doesn't even show that model (E-UA2) as a product. The website also states that they don't support serial port devices in Win2K; but, will it still work ? Can I just get an adapter to go from a serial port to joystick port or do I have to buy a new wheel ? Thanks,

It is a fairly old product at this stage. You should check with the Logitech customer support to see if you can get an adapter for serial->USB. The wiring is custom so it is not something off the shelf.

Why aren't you using the USB port? If your PC is so old that it doesn't have any, then why are you running Win2K?

I just built a games only machine and judging from this and other newsgroups and my hardware choices Win2K seemed to be the way to go. Looks like I'll have to go back to Win98SE. Thanks anyway, PJL

So your LWFF didn't come with a USB adapter? I bought one the first day they were on sale and I got a USB adapter...

Mine did to as well as two other friends that bought a LWFF also. MadDAWG
