For the record: Dan Trueman **rawks**. Total elapsed time between receiving his message (with crystal clear instructions on modding the Catz/GameTrack box) to seeing output of all six axes on my screen: 20 minutes. A significant part of that was spent trying to find the storage bin with my Weller Soldering Iron and small tools.
Now I can start to get really silly with this thing. Anyone got a great chainsaw patch? :)

Well. All this talk of the Ondes Martinot and chainsaws have made me reconsider the performance art potential for the Catz / Gametrak controller. When I plug it in, the OS X USB device manager knows its name, but (not surprisingly) chuck --probe doesn't show it. Can anyone offer pointers on what I have to write to make it recognized as an HID device under OS X?

Jukka;
There is a musical instrument where the pitch can be controlled, as an alternative to using a keyboard, by how much string you pull out -- the Ondes Martinot. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy9UBjrUjwo for a very good demonstration. Perhaps this controller could be adapted to such use.
Excellent example. Also; the Martinot was notoriously unreliable, needing frequent repairs; in some ways you would be better off with this controller and a decent MIDI keyboard.
That, and you could "start" it like it were a chainsaw or lawnmower; that would certainly get rid off the slightly dusty image of the Martinot!
Sorry, I can't resist trying to share my enthusiasm for such concepts.
