I just got my Interact V4 force feedback racing wheel today ($50 CDN at Future Shop Online!!!) The wheel is great, however I find that now I cannot use my classic MS Sidewinder at the same time.

Not only must I exchange plugs with each controller, but I must also remove the profile from the gaming devices setup in control panel since the second device will never be detected. Basically I can only use one controller at a time and have Windows recognize one at a time. This is quite annoying to say the least.

I've tried using a joystick Y-cable as well as the Sidewinder's daisy chain pass-through to connect the Interact Wheel... neither solution worked. Normally the Y-cable doesn't work, but one time it detected only a single device.

I'm using the latest drivers for each device and also the latest Direct X. If anyone has experienced a similar problem please let me know if you have found a fix. Thanks!
