Hi all, I am looking to try and use a USB joystick as a pointing device (instead of a mouse). Has anyone here tried this and if so how did you set it up? The O/S can be changed to win 98, 2K or XP. If anyony knows of devices or software that can be purchased in the UK to aid me in this project then link to site would be appreicated.

Only the insane prosper.

I've never heard of anything like this before but it sounds like a good idea!

If no one has done this before you will probobly have to write your own drivers. I don't think and hardware mods will be necessary to make it work.

Anyway...good luck!
