USB/ Gameport Converter DOES exist!

I just got off the phone with Rad at www.usbmax.com . They have a 15-pin gameport-to-USB converter available on their site for $34.95. It may even work with Force Feedback equipment that uses the MIDI port, but i'll know for sure when I get mine and test it with my MS FF Wheel... He also mentioned a joyswitch for under $20 that works with digital sticks on the www.cablemax.com site, though I haven't seen it. I PRAY it works as advertised. Finally I will be able to keep my MS FF Wheel plugged in my SB Live! gameport AND have my Thrustmaster FLCS/TQS/RCS plugged into a USB port and switch easily in the Win98 Jstick control panel.....

That's great news. Now if only I could find a seller in the UK I'd snap 1 up. -- Vince Fisher

If you find one, please let us know. I will do the same. Cheers, Paul
