Hi,
I'm wondering if I can turn my FreeBSD into a (very expensive ;-)) joystick.
That is, I have a PS2 and want to be able to control it via my laptop.
This would amount to connecting a USB cable between my PS2 and my
laptop, and getting the PS2 to detect it as a joystick with the right

Ok, that's a clear answer. Are there any alternatives? For example a PCI
expansion card that does USB device mode and is programmable? Might be
difficult to get working under FreeBSD though maybe?
You might look at getting an Arduino

Seems like it'd be less work to have the FreeBSD system close the
switches of a real USB joystick.
Think so? I had an Arduino writing messages to my kids on a 7-segment display
in about an hour. I would think that finding the right USB
