Does the TM FF use the serial port, or midi port, for feedback signals?

The MS FF Wheel is outstanding, except it uses the Midi signal lines on
the Joystick port for it's Force Feedback commands.  I'm not sure I like
that.  I do know it caused sound stuttering problems with my Creative
PCI/128 sound card.

I returned it for this, and a few other, reasons...
