can I get drivers for the above using xp pro, microsoft
do not seem to have any on their site.
 
Give this a try

Goto the Game Controller Control Panel
Then Add, Microsoft Sidewinder (auto-detect)...


Please note that any Profiling software that came with the gameport hardware
won't work as that was not designed for Windows XP (or 2000). There are
currently no
plans for updates.
 
You can get basic functionality for this device because the drivers are
already in Windows XP, but the software for mapping keyboard buttons to
controller buttons isn't available because it was written in a format not
supported.
To use the device do the following:

1. Connect the device to the gameport
2. Start -> Run -> Control Panel
3. Switch to "Classic View".
4. Run the Gaming Options control
5. In Gaming Options Click the "Add..." button.
6. From the list choose "Microsoft SideWinder (Auto Detect)"
7. This should install your device.

Hope that helps.
