I have a new Joystick that has game port, which I ca'nt connect to my PC.
What hardware have I to purchase to connect this joystck to my PC, and what will be the cost for that Hardware.

"Vista Compatible" logo on the Packing.... But if u r buying a card, I don't think it wud have any problems... Vista contains support for a lot of hardware...Remember.
