alors, pour tous ceux qui ont un race leader force feedback de chez guillemot en dB9 (port serie):
pour le passer en usb et pouvoir s'en servir sous windows XP il faut souder un cable usb sur la carte mere du volant.
voici un copier coller du post trouvé:

One very kind Tony_h (whose post was back in Jan!) answered my USB
hack query - with a successful outcome. The PCB within the housing
has a vacant USB connection area (J5). In a nutshell, it's just a
simple job of taking a standard USB extension cable, stripping one end
off, and soldering it in place with the following pin counts :
1 Red
2 White
3 Green
4 Black
The serial cable was removed (a tidy plug/socket job made that easy)
so that the USB cable exited the unit without any further holes.
Plugged it in, XP detected a new device, installed the most recent
drivers (GI_RLFFBWheel98ME2KXP_2514.exe), and away it went. Even got
split axis for throttle/brake.
Voilou.. ca marche tres tres bien , je viens de le faire sur le mien, donc guillemot avec leur 15 euros, ils peuvent aller se rendormir..
pour les anglophobes :
il y a sur la carte mere du volant un emplacement jp5 (usb) il faut virer l'etain et y enfiler un cable usb en respectant cet emplacement :
1 rouge
2 blanc
3 vert
4 noir
ensuite, installer les drivers xp du volant de chez guillemot (l'usb) et voilou.. vous avez un volant usb. \o/
