        We have a hacked-up PowerGlove interface to generate some clocking
        signals approximately compatible with the Eglowstein Byte article.
        After some trouble, we think we might be getting some real data out.
        Does anyone have any more detailed specs about clocking requirements,
        data packet formats, etc.  We are also worried because the centering
        systems doesn't seem to work as in the glossy "Adventures of
        Glove Master and Little Digit" instruction manual.  The sensor
        LEDs are either all on or all off.  We are not able to get individual
        LEDs to turn on/off based on glove motion.  Is this a clocking
        problem?  If we get the clocking scheme working, we are going to
        convert the data to RS232 and hook it up to a workstation.  Anyone
        want to share some wisdom?
