I''ve recently acquired a used Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro joystick, and before I start running around for adaptors and software, a few questions;
-Is this model Mac compatible?
-It has what I think is a serial plug, with nine pins. I've got a G4. Will a serial to usb adaptor work?(and is an adaptor expensive?)
-Does it require a specific driver?
-It's missing the power adaptor. Will it work without one?(no feedback, but otherwise functional?)
Any advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks.
