Frank,
Could I just use hidraw to write and read packets from the pokeys?
My thought is that I could write a hal comp to write a command packet to the
pokeys. The pokeys would process the packet and send the resulting response
back. From there i/o data can be mapped to hal pins and all should be fine.
This method would result in requiring a fixed pokeys config and hal comp. But
could be easily changed to suit the users desired configuration.
I am not suggesting its a perfect solution but I gets me access to whatever I
want in the device.

You are correct. It doesn't use the HID Descriptor reports, so generic
software can't query the device for its capabilities or message formats.
Their messaging is specified in their document, but needs to be code
specifically.
The pokeys makers approached me to add support for it to hidcomp, but given
how little spare time I have, it was too much work.
