[Rodrigo D. <cu...@uo...>]

    Hello...I just joined this list...I'm interested in helping develop=20
support for the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2...I have that=20
joystick and have a working copy of Bus Hound(I cracked the demo version=20
to log past 4Kb), but I don't know how to interpret some of the hex=20
data...I've realized some things, for example a phase that starts with=20
01 is to report buttons and axes, "02 32 00" is when you hold the=20
stick(there's a little sensor), "02 36 00" is when you release it, and=20
so on...
    On the bottom of the joystick it says it uses I-Force licensed to=20
Microsoft from Immersion Corp....is it just basic I-Force? If so how do=20
we get it to work in linux?? Has anyone worked on this?
    Anyway, I'm willing to help implement this...

Rodrigo
