Here's the scenario:

Im building a controller (2 joys, 10 buttons) with an I-PAC controller, via USB mode (on a Mac).

I intend to add a spinner later, with USB mouse guts.
I know for a fact, that if I add the mouse to the USB chain (through any of the externally free USB connectors on my computer) it will work in conjunction with the I-PAC. But I want to have it nicely integrated within my console.

I wonder if anyone has tried/documented the internal wiring needed to get a single USB cable out of the box. (in other word, route the mouse USB wiring through the I-PAC wiring). Perhaps I simply need to wire through the I-PAC somehow... but I am clueless!

Someone help, please?
