What converter to usb 2.0 cable connects to a sidewinder 3D pro joystick 15-pin gameport in addition?

I want to connect the controller on a PC with no game port, only USB under Windows 7 Home Premium.  I need to find an appropriate converter cable, so I can check if the gamepad will work.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I have done some research on this recently and cam on this.

The answer to that is a bit complicated.

MS produced a joystick (followed by "3D Pro") which has been converted (boxed) as "precision Pro" However if you looked under the name embossed control lever was "3D Pro Plus.  This joystick is not easily compatible USB.  The follow-up of the joystick, which looked identical, was marked below as 'Precision Pro' and it came with a simple USB adapter (as simple as just a series of wires that connect the game Joystick Port and a USB key).

Obviously care must be taken when buying or the other of these second hand as most sellers describe the item based on the name used in the box that has been 'Precision Pro'.  But I think that this last unit compatible USB had written on the box.

Individual units can be identified by the name embossed on the underside of the unit and the first 5 letters of the product (also below) Id:

Product ID: 97482-xxx is a "3D Pro Plus" - NOT USB compatible.

Product ID: 85791-xxx is a 'Precision Pro' - compatible with a simple adapter USB.

The follow-up of the 'precision Pro' was the ' precision 2 "was only USB but this was a new physical unit and would suffer the more static accumulation of problems as its predecessor and had removed the shift.»

All of these units were reportedly USB 1.x, which should be usable on a USB 2.0 connector.

    Suzanne,

    With the help of a video-to-USB device like the EVGA UV plus + 19 will not damage your computer or HDTV. The EVGA UV + 19 more is an active device and is not just a passive cable. To the best of my knowledge, there is no passive cable which will convert the USB ports in HDMI ports.

    Ethernet and USB cables are not usually provided with most of the printers that you need to choose a cable with a length of favourabel to you. You can go to a hardware/computer store and buy a USB A-to-B cable. I'll post a picture of the end of cable just to clear any confusion.

  • Satellite A110-137: serial USB 1.1 Cable does not work

    My computer is Satellite A110-137 and the operating system is Windows XP Home Edition v 5.1 service pack 2. Language setting is the Finland.

    I have a prolific USB driver cable RS232 2.0.0.26 version 1.1.

    It does not at all. When I try to connect it to a package Kantronics KAM radio modem using Hyper Terminal there is an error COM3 message: ei voi games. Tarkista porttiasetukset. (COM3: cannot open.) Check the port settings).

    The settings that I have are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, zero parity, 1 stop bit, hardware flow conrol. It's the same thing in device driver settings and the settings of the Hyper Terminal. It is 100% sure that the problem is somehow related to Toshiba or Windows XP as the same USB converter RS232 perfectly works and right the first time with for example Fujitsu ErgoPro have Windows 2000 (and it's a machine Pentioum 233, very old stuff indeed).

    I can't get any help of Prolific, their home pages seem to be offline now.

    Hello

    I studied a little on the net and it seems that this converter RS232 USB 1.1 creates a virtual serial port (possibly the com 3)
    As far as I know the built-in modem is using the same port.
    Possibly there could be compatibility problems.

    However, this is not a product of Toshiba and this is why I would recommend contacting support of the prolific.
    I've been on the site and it of online.

    Hello

    Well, the S/PDIF Jack allows you to connect digital speakers or stereo headphones (minimum of 16 ohms). When you connect a digital speaker or the headphones the internal speakers is automatically disabled.

    Please visit this link. You will find the cable that you can use:

  • What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

    What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

    The question is not really what kind of modem you need... it is rather one of 'approved' modems which provides the BT will be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

    Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme and other Apple routers are designed to work with standard DSL and cable type connections.  The fiber is a new ball game, and Apple has not yet learned all the rules for the new game.

    Your best bet would be to publish a list of 'approved' BT here modems and then ask other users who might have the same product and an AirPort Extreme about their experience.

    You can also just ask BT what product they would recommend to work with the AirPort Extreme.  They tell you that they will not support you if you are using the Apple product, so maybe it's something to consider as well.

  • own original iPod, USB-Firewire used cable, works but will not go up in iTunes.

    I own the original iPod. used USB to firewire cable. A big mistake. now, it works but will not mount on iTunes. tried reset-no good version 1.5 OS

    I don't think there is such a thing as a USB-to-FireWire, not a single cable that actually works.  USB and FireWire are very different, including the power voltage which is used to load.

    So you're saying that he is no longer connects to iTunes, even when you use a FireWire cable and connect to a FireWire port?  Still, he does pay when you connect it to your FireWire adapter?

    On the lan cable connection, it says as unidentified network.

    That's what I have to type the command ipconfig/all.  I tried to reinstall drivers recvoery as Manager, but no results. It worked without problem until now

    @anshu645

    Home networks typically use a form any of 192.168.x.x

    For example:

    192.168.1.14

    Found in your example:

    192.16. 137.1

    Also found:

    Autoconfiguration IPv4 address. . : 169.254.218.171

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I suspect that the installer with your home network router is misconfigured and the network can't find a viable (useful) DNS address to use for the purpose of ISP Internet Service (ISP) connection.

    ·          What version of the operating system is running on your computer?

    ·          Question took place even after the computer has been restored to its original state?

    ·          It's a laptop or a desktop computer?

    My desktop computer shows the keyboard and mouse connections wireless in both places. I thought that I had to use the receiver provided with the mmouse and keyboard kit when I bought it and now I see it installed in two locations in the Device Manager. What does that mean?

    Hi jimafia,

    Let's start first of all, make sure you have software in place just in case you need more later.

    If they are the same exact drivers, it is possible that they have been installed twice, but the biggest problem is how much of usb devices you have connected?

    You can check and see when they have been installed in the properties for each driver.

  • Should I switch usb 2.0 cable to a usb 3.0 port on my canon printer mg 8220?

    I got a new printer of 6 ft USB 3.0 Atlona cable model #AT11014-2. The power cable is a pearstone Usb 2.0 Type A male to Type B male 6 ft printer cable, but taken in a port rear usb 3.0. 6 ft USB 3.0 Atlona cable will be a faster or just usb 2.0 speeds up for printing & scanning on canon mg 8220 printer, answer soon?

    I have

    bofish,

    USB ports produce low current bery. I read that further, the current least lucky to the end of the cable. For this reason I recommended him using a usb cable of 3 feet, by helping with the Dell inkjet printers.

    The difference between a 2.0 and a usb 3.0 cable, perhaps should be some wires, but it should be compatible.

    If the cable is connected to a usb 2.0 port, you will not be able to see a difference. If the cable is connected to a usb 3.0 port, you can see a little faster transfer.

    Over the usb cable, sometimes you have to get a powered usb adapter to help communication.

    (a) start on typing Dungeon either F1, F2, F10, Esc, or DEL to enter the BIOS Setup.

    Warning: some manufacturers use F10 for recovery of the system.

    (b) glance to "Drive Configuration", "Boot order" or similar

    (c) check the second drive the first boot device CD/DVD and hard drive.

    (d) to save the settings and exit.
