Well, it looks like I might get to be the first person to post the good
news...  I just got mail from John Beutel with source code for Hi-Res
mode for the Power-Glove.  He got it from Manfed Kraus who I think is
the author.  Anyway, it is C code for the Atari ST, but it looks pretty
simple, and I will fix it up to work with the 80x86 hardware.  The 
toughest part will be tweeking the delays to get maximum number of samples
per second.  Right now, it looks like it gets about 15 per second. 
 
John said he will put it up for ftp at karazm.math.uh.edu
Once I get a PC version, I will put mine up... (or if someone beats
me to it, they can...)
