Could anyone recommend any books on these subjects? Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks! =) Steve Wilder wilder@virtu.sar.usf.edu [Please take a look at our reference list FAQ: http://www.hitl.washington.edu/scivw/ Also, there is a good report available for download at the Scivw WWW site: http://www.hitl.washington.edu/scivw/IDA/ -T.E.] --------------------------------------- From: toadie4@aol.com (Toadie4) Newsgroups: sci.virtual-worlds Subject: SPECS: VictorMaxx StuntMaster pinouts...

I would like to interface it to my NTSC converter to play games. I saw these pinouts about a year ago posted somewhere on the Web, but that link is no longer up. If you have any information or if you could at least point me in the way, I would appreciate it. --------------------------------------- From: "Mark 'Silly Head' Farinas" Newsgroups: sci.virtual-worlds Subject: INFO: NES Power Glove Date: Thu, 03 Apr 1997 16:49:15 -0500 Organization: The Communist Party of Miami Message-ID: <334425DB.5298@icanect.net> Hi there all.
