PLEASE HELP! > On the hardware side, make sure you have the ground connected from the glove interface to your PC (I'm assuming the parallel port hack is the way you have it connected). Since you're using a seperate PSU, you may encounter problems with floating ground if not. Personally, I prefer to use 5-pin DIS connectors of the audio variety for the keyboard port... Which software are you using? I'd suggest some of the simple examples from the Garage VR book - glovgraf.exe etc. REND386 has one of the smoothest drivers of the PC VR packages (ie includes more noise filtering). While I'm on this thread, does anyone have the original BYTE mouse-emulator .com file which was supposed to be available from BIX at the time. It's not on the BYTE ftp site unfortunately...
