If its the one I saw..  its the gravis people.  They are using a standard
logitech (pc) mouse with a mini-din 8 connector on it.  If you have an old
MouseStick, you can upgrade the main unit to work with the mouse as well.

This is the way I understood it to work.

You configure the unit in MacOS and an init "downloads" the code to the
control unit during boot.  You could configure the unit to push the left and
right arrows when the middle and right buttons are push and put the init in
the boot system folder.  That way, X11R4 as well as MacX could take advantage.

The question is whether or not the init will run under AUX.
