I dragged out my old Saitek Cyborg stick to use with DOSBox. I was going to use it with the classic Terminal Velocity game, which really calls out for a stick.

DOSBox wouldn't respond to the stick. My first thought was, it's a problem with DOSBox. But I DLed a test program (Joystick And Gamepad Test.app) and it wouldn't recognize the stick either. It found my keyboard, mouse and MacAlly iShock gamepad with no problem. I also found the iShock pad worked fine with DOSBox and Terminal Velocity.

Now I'm thinking, my stick is dead. Time to buy a new stick? But I hooked it up to a Linux system and found it easily recognized both the iShock gamepad and the Saitek stick. Everything on the stick worked.

So. . . Now I'm lost. Can anybody offer suggestions?

ADDENDUM: My old G3 iBook and my TiBook both identify the Saitek stick correctly in the System Profiler. It doesn't appear at all in the System Profiler of my intel-based iMac with Mac OS X v10.5.6. So the stick is definitely good, it's something about the iMac that's messed up.

Weird thing. Since I'm using a Saitek Cyborg Evo here under MacOS X 10.5.6, I wouldn't think there's a problem with the stick and Macs per se. Where do you plug in the stick? In a USB hub or one of the iMacs own USB ports? If you haven't already, you could try to plug in into another port.

I tried plugging it into a hub, and after that didn't work I tried a USB port on the back of the iMac. It didn't make any difference.
