Gentlemen,

I have run a powerglove on my Pentium 120. The only way I could make
it run reliably (a relative term in the powerglove's case, anyway) was
to turn off the turbo and run the machine at 60 mHz. Then it worked
fairly well. I also played with some of the timing parameters in the
glove.ini file (I was running Rend386), although I don't remember
offhand which ones these were.
