2/10 WOULD NOT INGEST

My latest museum piece.  I'd love to get this working on my PC but I have little hope. I can probably get the converter to plug it in from somewhere, but drivers? |
Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Yeah, looks like getting the cable might be the hard part. The funny thing is that I don't play flight simulators. Might try it with Mechwarrior 2 if I can find the CD.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Isn't it just an old-school analog joystick? Must be a sound card out there that still has a standard MIDI port.

Yegolev, do you post at NeoGAF? I think someone posted there in the pickup thread acquiring the same thing. I think that someone had your David Bowie avatar also. Might be two people. Wouldn't take long to check though.  |

If the name was Yegolev, it was me. Otherwise it was just someone else with good taste. I mean, that Bowie mug shot is hot.
EDIT for sound card... I haven't dug into my parts graveyard to see what I have, but I think the chances of having an old sound card are slim since sound cards are why I hated DOS gaming so much. I'm hoping for a more elegant solution.

Here you go, $8.99 on Amazon. Most sound cards are going to have game/MIDI ports, if you've got integrated audio on the mobo you may even have a jack to connect one somewhere. Lots of synthesizers and other old-style MIDI equipment still out there. It actually started out as a MIDI interface, joysticks were an add-on. --Dave
