sidewinder 3d calibration?

alright, i know the old MS Sidewinder 3d joysticks are a sought after commodity around here, and i happen to have one laying around (from back when they originally came out)... i figured i would put it to use as a "no drift" joystick for out OI, but when i connected it up and read the values in dashboard i was getting something around 70 when centered instead of the expected 128... AFAIK i had the joy set to emulate an analog joystick, and i know the pinouts are standard... any ideas why its being weird? is there some kind of internal calibration i can do in the sidewinder?
