Oh, and another thing: a kernel panicing is unacceptable, even with bad hardware (except possibly for hardware faults. There is not a lot you can do about those). We've found one non-trivial bug, and I have the feeling that we are looking at another one (possibly a stack or device list corruption bug), which I'm determined to find. If you could send me the make and model (basically all the numbers (including the FCC one) on the label on the device, that would be appreciated. I'll have a look around to see whether I can find another one. We have a PlayStation 2 Developer's Kit in the office, so I'm interested to see the controllers work. We develop a game for PlayStation 2 and Windows (but it runs on FreeBSD as well :-), so being able to use the gamepad converter on FreeBSD would be a laugh. Hm, is it one of these? http://www.psxshop.com/shownews.asp?NewsID=1870 http://www.allusb.com/products/P10227.html http://www.angelcd.com/angelcd/psxusbcon.html http://www.baysoftgames.com/baysoftgames/pssmartjoy2.html http://www.dcs.com.hk/misc/mc_joybox.htm http://www.goldenshop.com.hk/AI-trad/pc/pc_psxn64usb.htm http://www.smartjoy.com/ or was it a do-it-your-self adapater http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~snandhe/usbpads.htm There is quite a few of those it seems. Or I have loads of duplicates ... That could be as well :) Cheers, Nick > If I'm following you, the info above will just prove that something is too > broken to figure out.
