USB - Converter possibility?

Has anyone heard of work being done on an analog-to-digital USB converter box? As some controllers seem to have seperate modes selectable I would *think* the possibility is there. I jumped on the USB bandwagon when, with my MS Wheel plugged into my SB Live port, I decided I felt like doing some flying. I grabbed a spare MS Precision Pro (with Jstick port-to-USB adapter cable attached) and just plugged it in with the machine running. Win98 saw it instantly and it worked. It actually seemed to function better than it did in the SB Live port, but thats subjective.. Now I want ALL USB controllers. I'm going to try to plug the MS Wheel in using the adapter, and though I assume FF will die (I think its hokey anyway), as long as resistance stays I will be a happy guy! Of course, it may not work at all.....
