Thanks for these pointers. I can probably need all the help I can get. For windows, the Saitek products have their own USB driver, so that shouldn't be a problem.

One of them was HID, so I think we're good. Also, Martin Crompton, my contact at Saitek appears to be very forthcoming in providing me with documentation, etc. We haven't talked about licensing issues jet, but he was very helpful in providing either documentation, additional hardware to test, or even do some work on the more lower level stuff. I just have to make sure I don't get carried away too quickly. Cheers, Durk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
