Do these things work with Vista or 7?

Yes I could use Google, but I choose not to. You don't get the potential for fourteen pages of mouse v JS nonsense that way.

It took me seven or eight years to wear out my original FF pro, and nothing I have tried to play Allegiance with since is even vaguely in the same ballpark. Unfortunately you are more likely to see pork pie at a bar mitzvah than you are a gameport on the back of a PC. So if I am to make a glorious return, I need this info.

Wouldn't play Allegiance without it! (even though I'm hardly playing allegiance lately)

... it worked on Windows 7 for me. Now if only I could figure out why the Resolution settings aren't showing up in Regedit...

Should we wait for Adept to show up?
Or can I in his stead suggest the Logitech FF stick?

If you are using 64 bit go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Wow6432Node

32 bit software is in there

Excellent news.

Last night I managed to work out that if you plug your cyborg into a USB port that is connected to the motherboard, it transforms the stick.
