        PID means Physical Interface Device...it's the USB standard for
force feedback, which the kernel does not yet support(that's what I'm
working on though). The MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 is an example of
such device(and it's the one I have).

        Ideally, all of them =c) It's just a matter of someone sitting
down and writing the drivers.

        I-Force.

        Well, for now, you can tell them I-Force works, and PID is on
its way.
