 Hi Cowboy,
 
 Done some more checking and googling and these disconnects are totally
 random. It looks as though this el cheapo joystick is picking up
 electrical interference causing the computers hub to disconnect.
 When I get time I'll build it into a shielded box.

 Balanced twisted pairs about always outperform shielded wire in every case.
 ( see my series in theBDR.net for the physics of why )

 Are you in a particularly noisy environment ?

 Is there a way to stop Centos from doing maintenance on the usb
 joystick?

 Since I don't have a CentOS ( RedHat ) machine, I can't give you
 a specific line anywhere, but I can surmise that it's triggered by
 a cron job.
 Start with crontab, and chase through the scripts line by line
 until you find the USB culprit.
