Hey guys, seeing if you could help me out here, first though I wouldn't be surprised if this has been asked before; I did a search but couldn't find the information I needed, so sorry if this is a duplicate. Anyway, today I found a 1995 version of the CH Products Flight Stick at a thrift store for $2, I recognized it immediately since I bought a new Flight Stick only last year. I noticed the game port only had 8 out of 15 pins on it, I didn't make much of it knowing that was common on certain connectors but looking at some pictures I'm not so sure it was original. If the connector turns out to be normal I'm curious about the GP to USB converters, which ones are good, where do you get the drives and do the drivers work? If it doesn't work out I guess I'll just pop it open and replace it with a new USB axis card saying it's still a good deal.

Thanks!

 

 

 

Anybody?

Hi,

 

I've got an old Microsoft Sidewinder which has a gameport connector with nine pins. I bought a gp to usb connector at Radio Shack some years ago and it seems to work well. I don't remember any drivers being involved except for the one built in to Windows.

 

The connector is pretty basic. Gameport on one end and usb on the other about 7 or 8 inches long.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Jim
