He heeee, you gonna have fun trying to get that puppy to work!! I spent countless hours to get it to work. First off you will need digital asperin. That will help the sticky key problem and make the hats 8 way

When the old spiking stick problem occurs you will have to open up the stick and clean the pots. Migman has a site on how to open the stick. What I did was to take the pot caps off and soak a piece of paper with denatured alcohol and wipe between the pot wipers and the carbon. Had to do it a couple of times but it did solve the problem!!
To program View forward up it shows 8: 5:, you will need to change it to 8 + 5: to get it to work. All combo actions will have to be manually changed.
Saitek.com has all the links to Migman and digital asperin.
I got it working fine about 2 months before the USB version came on the market. The USB version is everyting the analog version was supposed to be!!
Good luck
