    Mine Works...

    I've got one of the old non-usb Force Feedback Wheels.
    It works fine in XP, the only thing that you can't do is install the Sidewinder Software, so you don't get profiles and the like.

    The wheel itself works fine though.
    ASUS P8Z68-V Pro Motherboard, Intel Core i7 2600K CPU @ 4.3GHz, G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB DDR3 Ram, Pioneer DVR-219L DVDRW, OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD, Western Digital Black 1TB SATA HDD, Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB, Everything being driven by Windows 10 Professional (64Bit)...

      I still haven´t tried my sidewinder force feedback on XP, but it worked fine with win2k so I´d be very surprised if it wouldn´t work...

      Connecting it to the joystick port of the soundcard seem a little jurassic now, doesn´t it?

          The trick is, as Delany pointed out, NOT to install any software.

          Just connect the wheel to your sound card (if it´s integrated, be sure it´s on in the BIOS), go to control pannel -> game controllers -> add and select Microsoft Sidewinder.

          That´s how it worked on win2k.
