I had a pretty honest relationship with the store I bought my Amiga at. When
I asked them about this product they were honest enough to tell me that the
yoke was useless without comparible simulations. They told me that when the 
yoke first got on the market a few people snapped some of them up...and when
the word got around about the gimick (I guess among the BBSs) sales dropped to
zero at their store and now they can't give them away. I guess your stuck.
