http://www.sgi.com/products/appsdirectory.dir/Applications/Peripherals/ApplicationNumber5695.html (Silicon Surf Promotional CD, 01/1995)The BeeBox(tm) consists of a two axis miniature joystick, a lever, and four buttons, which provide inputs to your GSI. Source code is provided, making it easy to integrate with an application, where the BeeBox provides intuitive control of objects or vehicle dynamics. Combined with small size (6" x 6" footprint) this makes it ideal for low cost, portable vehicle simulation systems.
The BeeBox has 12-bit resolution and sends data in RS-232 format to the host at a selectable baud rate. The data is not subject to noise on the serial line.
The BeeBox does not require a VME board or device driver.
