First of all I'm using Win 2K and have no desire to do a dual boot
system w/ Win 98 just to use this wheel.
I have one of the old Formula Force wheels (the red one that everyone
likes) but it only has the serial connection not the combination
usb/serial that most of them had.
Does anyone know if it's possible to update the wiring of this wheel to
usb, or of an adapter from serial to usb that will work with this?
I've tried one serial to usb adapter and it wouldn't work (don't
remember which) and I really don't expect to find an adapter that will
but it must be possible to add usb to it like Logitech did. Naturally
writing to Logitech was about as much use as asking when WSC will be
released.
This wheel has virtually no time on it (less than 1 hr) and I'd like to
start using it, I guess another option would be to find someone who has
a broken one (with usb) sitting around wasting space who'd be willing to
sell at a reasonable price.
If anyone knows of a fix or has a broken usb model to part with I'd
appreciate the info.
Bob
I think mine came with an adapter for the serial to USB. Might check with
Logitech might be able to buy a "replacement"

There is specific information regarding installation on Windows 2000.

Thanks for the info, I called Logitech and you are right it did come
with an adapter (what the hell did I do with mine I wonder?) and I just
ordered it. I guess I learned NEVER bother e-mailing Logitech just give
them a call.
Thanks again MadDAWG,
Bob

If you are like me, as soon as the new part comes in you will find the
original about a week later in an old box somewhere :P

them came w/o adapter.
Could also be that you simply lost it ;-)
