Yeah my bad, I guess it is ultra sonic, but for the record back in the day when my machine had 98 on it I used to play virtua squad all the time with it with no probs.... I would even put the bracket on my tv and play it in tv-out mode and still no probs. Maeybe it was designed to accomidate for "hard" rooms considering most rooms with computers in them are.
As for the drivers.... The thing won't work on anything higher than 98se (this includes Me!) even then I've had probs getting it to work on a few serial ports. It all seems to be driver related though.
: According to the review you linked to, it's ultrasonic, not infra red. Ultrasonic devices (powerglove) can sometimes have problems with their own signals bouncing around the room given erroneous responses.
