PC Hardware - Peripheral Issue

My Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro doesn't work on my new computer.

Unfortunately, the older Sidewinder digital joysticks do not work at all with motherboards operating at bus speeds over 100mHz, like the ASUS based on the VIA KT266A chipsets.
A workaround is to install the joystick as a regular analog CH Flightstick or Thrustmaster compatible, but you lose the extra buttons.
