Quoting a thread I found on groups.google.com dated August 26th 2003:
"I got this MOMO (brand new) from a friend a while ago. It has been
working.
For months I haven't played anything with my wheel because I was playing
with my Xbox. Yesterday I bought an ATI 9800 pro and really want to get
back to PC gaming again. I just fired up the wheel but no light comes on.
The wheel is not "turned" on as if no power is getting through. The adaptar
is warm though. I only paid $25 for it. :-) This is the "black" version
with soft rubber on the wheel. I opened that sucker up and saw that it was
gear driven!!!!!! Now, I want to get the old "red" cable-driven Wingman
from JustDeal. My question is that would it run on WinXP? I once had that
same wheel but forgot if it would work with a serial to USB converter????"
=======================
I've seen several posts like this where the power seems to just cut out on
the Momo, but does anybody know WHY? I need to troubleshoot this :(
J.R.
1) The old red wheel will only work with the Serial->USB cable.
2) You might want to try the wheel on another PC to check if
its a wheel problem. Alternatively, you should try another wheel
on the PC to check if its an internal usb problem.
