Paraphrased from _Macworld_, January 1991...

Page 221, the "New Products" section:

The Gold Brick is an interface that allows you to use three-dimensional
input.  It works with several types of controllers, including an
8-button input device (included).  Pictured with the device: a joystick,
a G-Force controller, and a *Power Glove*(!).

Price: $195

It's an ADB device, so installation should take about a minute :)

Transfinite Systems Company
(617)-969-9570


(The description also refers to "Apple's recently published standard
memory structure for three-dimensional input."  What is this?  Anyone?)

Sounds like an awfully useful gadget, and would save a lot of time for
those of you working on a Power Glove hack...
