How to write a driver for unsupported USB joystick?

[Michel Rouzic]

I got an unsupported joystick, a Gravis Blackhawk ADB (Aplle Desktop
Bus), connected to my PC by an iMate (ADB to USB adapter). The problem
is that it's only recognized as a HID mouse

how can i write a driver in C to make it usable as a joystick?

By using system-specific extensions that are not defined by the C language
and are therefore beyond the scope of comp.lang.c .

A newsgroup that discusses driver programming for the OS you plan to
use it under would be a good first stop for more information.

oh ok thx. yeah i thought com.lang.c wasnt the best to post it but
didnt know what would be better.
