HA!  The future is so unpredictable.

These two?

Actually, judging by some reviews and some other sites it looks like I'm wrong and you probably won't get the force feedback to work with any of those adapters. There is some info here about building an adapter yourself:

This is an old site and some of the links are broken, but the downloads section has everything needed. If you have any engineer friends (or basically anyone who took high school electronics) this could be whipped up pretty quickly.

The stick had reached the end of its useful life.  I was still using it with one other program but its contacts had gotten so bad that I had to reset/calibrate it before every use and exercise it heavily.  Believe me, if it had still been optimum I would have sold it.  I took it to an electronic recycling center.

To be honest the demand for older FFB sticks is such that you probably would get good money on EBAY even selling it as " non functional, not repairable, suitable for parts only" .

If the FFB motors were OK someone would likely pick it up for a yoke conversion or one of those ghetto mods where people put in double the number of FFB motors on each axis.
