I recently modified the Mattel PowerGlove for use with the PC
using information from a July 1990 issue of Byte magazine.
The article does a fine job of explaining how to port the device
over, and explain the virtual reality implementations of such a
device. In the article, a program designed for the PowerGlove
is also discussed. Unfortunately, only a brief excerpt of the
programs ASM code is shown in the article. It does go on to
mention that the whole program is available from BIX, which
I do not have access to. Does anyone out there have the program,
PG.COM, or it's source code? If so, please mail it to me. I
already tried using archie to find PG.COM and PG.ZIP, but it
didn't find it. If there is an ftp site that carries it, I would
appreciate it if someone would send me it's address. Thanks alot
for your help.

If anyone else is interested in learning more about the PowerGlove, and
using it with a PC, then look at the July 1990 issue of Byte. If it
isn't avaliable send me a letter and I would be happy to reply with
a text file briefly discussing the PowerGlove and instructions on
how to modify it for use with the PC (VERY EASY). Thanks again.
