OK, I know you'll think I'm nuts but my favorite joystick only works on WIN98. FATS vs NTSB & 15 pin vs USB thing. I've tried to install 98 on an old PC for games like CFS3 but the PCB controllers didn't install. Any ideas where I might find these drivers? Thanks

I don't think you're crazy at all.
I still have two operational Win98 machines though one is getting a little flaky and one hasn't been turn on in a couple years.

The Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro and 3D Pro joysticks I use also work with Windows 2000 and also Win XP.
If you are trying to use a converter for USB to Game Port, that certainly won't work because the joysticks don't work off a Game Port. They are really run from a MIDI port as found on a sound card.
