Besides the fact this forum isn't working for me, I'll post.
Well I don't know how you could do this just as a custom job, but I was thinking if you were able to get ahold of one of those Ridge Racer Type 4 joysticks that have the racing wheel built onto them, you could take out their spinner, and put in a hard drive spinner or something, and try that. Although Tempest probably wouldn't accept it. Just a though.
