One to the joystick port on the OI, and the other to whatever is required to drive the force-feedback?

Joystick ports not port. (nitpick, I know) Read the whole thread and the IFI spec sheets for the OI. Also the '05 rules would be a good idea, they may change, but it probably won't have many major changes. Then you'd realize it isn't a simple matter. The rules are the component that cause most of the headaches, for example, I could go and rig this up on one of our old bots for very little money, but it wouldn't be competition legal, at least by '05 standards.
