Hi!
I'm not completely sure if i have the same wheel(I'm not that good in english...), but i have a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel from about year 2000, and it works flawlessly! I Don't remeber which card i have, but i think it is soundblaster. When i installed it, I just plugged it in, and went to Control panel>Game Controllers>Add>MS Sidewinder and it worked! I didn't get any "found new hardware" before I added it there. But, as I said, I'm not sure if i have the same wheel
