I played Descent II with both a Microsoft Sidewinder, and a Spaceorb 360.

Holy crap! I just saw that Linus Torvalds wrote in 1999, and is still maintaining, a Linux SpaceOrb 360 driver.

Holy crap 2.0! Here's a guy selling a complete hardware and software solution to get a SpaceOrb 360 working on a modern computer: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4380741525/vectorbridge-usb-adapter-spaceorb-360?sts=1

Last time I looked, I couldn't get Windows drivers for it, so I just gave up. Not on Windows anymore.

Decent and that sidewinder. Wow. That is a long time ago. But I remember!
