There is no data to collide. The OI just uses the raw measurement from the joystick pots so it needs a 0-100K "signal". Most of the newer joysticks/pads uses an interpreter between these raw signals and the computer to convert them into RS232 or USB protocol.
Other than taking your joystick apart, disconnecting the joystick potsfrom the circuit board, meauring them to make sure they are 0-100K linear pots, and then rewiring them, you won't be able to use them.
