What exactly is it? I got a Wingman Formula Force from a guy on Ebay, but it did not come with the USB connector. Is it just a serial to USB cable? Also was it suppose to come with a power supply? If so, can someone give me the voltage. etc so I can maybe find a replacement. Thanks Sheldon

I think you should demand the rest of this mandatory stuff, unless it was clear in the ad that it was missing... -Larry "Sheldon" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

If its the early all red LWFF it does have a simple serial to USB adaptor cable about 6 inches long. The power supply ( this is in Canada, don't know if its the same for other countries) is a class 2 transformer, input 120VAC/60 hz 45W 480 mA, output 20VDC 1.5A.

oh in NZ it's a AC-DC adapter input 240v AC 50hz 22w output 15v DC 1000mA app. no. N14461 (whatever that is!) hope that helps. NG "Sheldon" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Sheldon, only curious. How much did you pay? And did the seller inform you about the set being incomplete? JensSchumi On Fri, 23 Feb 2001 15:29:05 -0600, Sheldon <[email hidden]> wrote:

Hmmm, you are in US? Then get the vendor by his b... The price is the latest salesprice for a new wheel. If nothing different was stated, I would expect a complete, working unit. A unit without power-brick is *not* working. The missing USB-adapter is inconvenient, but probably acceptable, since the wheel also functions without and refurbished wheels were sometimes sold w/o the adapter. But since he stated the connector to be there, I would expect one though. Only my opinon JensSchumi On Mon, 26 Feb 2001 21:40:09 -0600, Sheldon <[email hidden]> wrote:
