Ok, well I'll look at the work that Anthony has put in already and see what we come up with.

Speaking of Win98. I just tried this under win98, and after it installed its usb kit and the HID 
driver it kinda works.. looks like win98 expects 0x0-0xffff while 2k expects 0x0-0x7fff for the 
position information.. buttons are ok and tracking is good, just the target pointer only moves half 
the distance.

A problem perhaps, but one that could be worked around in a pinch..
