Have you actually tried it out yet? Most of the newer gameport-style joysticks do not conform to the gameport interface used by the OI. Because they have more buttons and axes than the gameport allows, they end up transmitting a special digital data stream over one of the digital inputs. This requires a custom driver on the host to interpret, which of course is not available on the OI. Given the number of buttons on this stick, I would assume this is the case.
If this is the case, you might be able to take it apart and re-wire the guts of it to match the OI interface. To get access to all the buttons and analog axes you'd need to hook it up to more than one gameport on the OI.
