The reason for this constraint is that we're not building the console or
the console software.  It's a commercial Playstation 2 using an existing
game.  It reads the pad using a synchronous protocol clocked by the
console.  I've tested three consoles, getting intervals of 5ms, <0.1ms,
and 2ms (in order of purchase date).  I'm not sure whether the
difference is from manufacturing changes or just really poor tolerances.
