     I may be missing something here, but couldn't one just buy a
trackball or mouse, rip out the guts, gather together a steering
wheel, dig out that old erector set from childhood days, and PRESTO!
One would have a steering wheel.  Now, there would need to be some
gearing to make the steering less or more sensitive, and one would
need to have some way of setting the wheel position initially (I
think), but it doesn't seem too hard to me, given enough money and
time.  Might be kind of fun....

     After that you need a fan to simulate the wind and set up to tilt
your seat while going around the corners (ala Out Run) ;-).  But
seriously, I don't think mocking up a steering wheel would be too hard....
