Hello Nickcapuano,

Yes, if you get a USB to PS2 adapter.

i dont understand what yoiu mean by adapter. the wheel plugs in to the USB port on the ps2. I tried with with my current computer - just plugging it in but could not get it to work. i am getting my motherboard back from ajump tomorrow and want to use it on a new rig i am building. i guess the question is would i need to find some type of driver or something to make it compatible. has anyone tried this before? the wheel looks exactly like logitech's wheel for the pc.

This came off the Gamesdomain site: In not changing anything, Sony has given we console gamers an excellent opportunity to use one of the best wheels available for the PC, and we can finally have a better sense of immersion than a vibrating controller can provide. And, thanks to this standardized design, those who buy the GT Force wheel for the PS2 can plug the wheel into their PCs and enjoy force-feedback in the great racing games available there too, like Colin McRae 2 and Gran Prix Legends. And, even more lucky are those who already bought the Logitech wheel for their PC's, as they can just plug them in to their PS2s and start gaming.

It is just a small connector that you connect your USB mouse into and then you plug that connector into your PS2 port. They usually come with USB keyboards and USB mouses.

Markoman, he was talking about the driving wheel for a Playstation2, not the ps2 on the computer. I had to read it twice myself.
