Very cool! And comforting. Mine has a slide at the top when removed reveals 
another port for connecting another controller. So, if i found another one 
of these, it would be great to test (only testing; not playing games, 
really!) if two connected to each other would work under NetBSD. 

When adding all the "joy" entries to the kernel config file, i can get 

joy0 at isa0 port 0x201
joy0: joystick not attached 

or something similar, which  don't think that entry in the config file is 
the right answer, considering the port is on the sound card. 


More interesting is why it won't attach when connected via USB. In PTP mode, 
my digital camera is not able to be detected when scanned. However, in 
normal USB mode, it attaches normally. Another USB camera, attaches as 
ugen0, but no uaudio0 is detected, even though it has a builtin microphone. 
I've also not been able to get my printer communicating correctly. 

Does it make sense to think that something is not going well in libusb?
