If anyone out there has any information, I would greatly appreciate it if you would email me at fredini@inch.com. I have been doing web searches, but have found little concrete information. It seems as if it could be connected via the serial port, doesn't it? --------------------------------------- From: jdbowen@mindspring.com Newsgroups: sci.virtual-worlds Subject: SPECS: Looking for Power Glove interface! Date: Wed, 12 Mar 1997 20:59:18 GMT Organization: MindSpring Enterprises Message-Id: <5g75m7$rf5@camel2.mindspring.com> Reply-To: jdbowen@mindspring.com I need a Nintendo Power Glove serial interface - I know they were hot and sold everywhere a few years back, but I can't find such a thing anywhere... something to hook my glove to a Macintosh for MIDI and VR use. Please send any info to jdbowen@mindspring.com Thanks!

Date: 13 Mar 1997 06:06:41 GMT Organization: nativeDesign Message-ID: <01bc2d48$31290b80$273061cb@system01> Help needed badly. I am a lecturer in Computer Graphics at MIT in Auckland, New Zealand. I am currently attempting to research VR as it pertains to design etc. but I am having a great deal of difficulty. This stems from the fact that no-one in this country seems to have any idea as to what VR entails, least of all what a good system consists of, and where to get the components. Therefore, information is needed on potential suppliers in the New Zealand region (or elsewhere who would be willing to supply). I am also involved in the management of nativeDesign: we resell hardware and software, so contact direct with a distributor would be ideal. Thanks in advance Eli Weir eli@native.co.nz ************************************************************ End of Info Booth ************************************************************
