J&R Computer World in New York www.jandr.com is advertising the Thrustmaster
Ferrari Force Feedback Racing Wheel in their newest catalog for $119.99. Is
this the exact same wheel as the Guillemot? Also, the advertisement says
Serial/USB connection, but Thrustmaster's website only mentions the USB
connection. Does it have a gameport connection as well as USB or no?
Has anyone tried both this wheel and the Logitech Wingman FF wheel, and able
to offer a comparison opinion?

Guillemot owns Thrustmaster. They are one and the same company.

Wheel uses either Serial or USB - no game port.
Control program allows all buttons to be defined as keys - useful for GP3
"return to pits" etc.
Make sure it's a newer model - earlier stock had flimsy gear change paddles
(though Guillemot will ship replacements foc).
Haven't tried Logitech but I love the Ferrari
