Troubles with gamepad

I have a Saitek P2500 gamepad. It shows up in system profiler but neither Gamepad Companion, gamepad tester, nor USB overdrive can detect it.

I've already restarted, taken plug out, put plug back in etc... What's the fix?

iBook G4 12, Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Did it come with a driver install CD?

No it didn't. Saitek don't supply any mac drivers, though they recommend the use of Gamepad Companion.

Not only are there no Mac drivers available, I couldn't find anything on Saitek's site that indicates compatibility with Mac.

Their support page: http://www.saitekusa.com/USA/supp/p2500_support.htm
lists FAQ's, and each one is about Windows. Not a Mac question in the bunch.

I would say there is a compatibility problem.
