Don't know what to call it as it's not a plain driver but uses extention also for getting the game device information. This is how R5 gets USB games devices today and also SB-Live GamePort devices. The Gameport "driver" sends the information that a game devices are generating to BJoystick and this part are not type (type as GamePort, USB) dependent. I do think that wee need the "driver" but with some modification, like not publishing devices you don't have as it does today. > > As a side note on the Device Kit, I always thought it might be fun to > extend the GeekPort API to parallel port functionality.
