Game port to USB adaptor

Hello fellow PICers,

I was thinking about building / buying a PC game port -> USB adaptor.

I have a set of Flight-SIM peddles that use the PC game port but it's a hassel to re-calibrate the peddles every time the rudder goes jittery. (Maybe a software driver problem?)

I was hoping that if they were connected to the USB port this may give me a smoother landing!

I have briefly seen a bit on the Microchip site using a 16C745 for this purpose. Has anybody had any experience with these chips?
