Yes, but I already have the parallel interface that I was using on Win98. Now I have switched to XP. The interface is at http://www.angelfire.com/retro/deonvdw/PPJoy.htm and I got it working after a few tweaks. Had to assign the LPT1 port an IRQ and my printer is USB so this won't interfere with printing. If you share it with a printer you need to disable it when FMS not in use.
Works great!! Saved me $35 approx.

speaking of ppjoy if you have a serial PIC TX interface you can use PPJoy and the driver at this site (bottom of page) http://myweb.absa.co.za/eric.brouwer/interface.htm to create a joystick out of your TX that can be used in anything that uses a joystick.
