I reread your original post and I misunderstood which stick you were talking about.

I have a MS Sidewinder Precision Pro.It is not force feedback.It is old.It is however,a game port connector.I use a Microsoft gameport to USB adapter.I do not use any software beyond the W7 calibration and the ingame adjustments.

I am sorry if I got your hopes up.

Well, time ago someone developed a USB adapter to (gameporte) Microsoft 3D PRO(1st MS joystick) that work to with (gameporte) Microsoft Force Feedback PRO.

But, only FF effect achieved is return do center force, so the stick work like a normal one.

Dont know if is sold assembled.
