Hi all,

Recently I bought a brand new computer in the shop. When I wanted to connect
my joystick (Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital) it seemed that there is an
other sort of connection on my computer. What do you recommend? A new
joystick or an other cable between my computer and my joystick?

Thnx,

Jackie

it sounds like you are describing to us that your existing Logitech joystick
requires the old style dedicated joystick connector, and your new computer
lacks this (which isn't unusual these days) , but it does have USB ports,
which most newer joysticks use. You can buy a discrete sound card that will
most likely supply a standard joystick port, but if it were me, I'd just
upgrade to a new USB stick. It would be simpler, and you'd be more up to
date.
