SUMMARY
The SideWinder Force Feedback game controller is a high performance
digital device designed to work with a standard IBM-compatible game
port. In addition to using Digital Overdrive Technology, the SideWinder
Force Feedback game controller uses MIDI output from the game port to
send force feedback data to the controller. If MIDI is not available on
the game port, a serial adapter is available to transmit force feedback
data to the joystick.
