Yes i have, but it will not install without serial driver for wheel.
Logitech does not support serial port on win xp, only me and earlier.

Try to add it as a generic "Steering Wheel". That should work.

I always assume that it's really a gameport device and not a serial one,
however it's not always a good idea to assume such things. ;-)

Joshua Smith said:Hi Needforspeed63,
For it to work someone would have to write a driver that looks for the
device on say the USB ports, and they'd need to build some kind of
USB-to-Serial converter for it. I do not know of any such device in
production. There are USB-to-Gameport converters that various companies
make, but even those don't support things like Force Feedback or digital
devices. Unfortunately the companies that made serial (and largely gameport)
devices have determined that they have "End of Life" these devices and most
likely have little (if any) support for them. It would be too costly to
develop a new driver or hardware to support them.

needforspeed63 said:Joshua,
Thanks for the info and your time.
Logitech has the drivers for the wheel,
i thought i could get a serial to usb adapter that are available at radio
shack
to use with the wheel if it would work.
They are $41.95,part # 26-183.
I'll try this, and if it works i'll leave a post,
so if anyone in the future has this problem,
maybe it will help them.
Thanks again!

Joshua Smith said:Hi Needforspeed63,
This probably isn't going to work. The problem is the Logitech driver
isn't going to do this. It was written to use the serial bus. Without
rewritting it it isn't going to know to use the USB bus.
