    I have a few years old Mad Catz Universal MC2 Racing Wheel I haven't used for many of those years.

    Universal MC2 Racing Wheel

    It has XBox, PS/2, and I'm guessing it's a Nintendo plug. I was wondering if any of those are actually USB in disguise and there's a simple adapter to be had, or if there's an active adapter to convert it to USB?

    Thanx for any informed replies.
